Less-energy-dense diets of low-income women in California are associated with higher energy-adjusted costs but not with higher daily diet costs.
I have concerns about the relevance of the research and the accuracy of Townsend et al’s conclusion in their recent article (1). The article failed to show the usefulness or policy relevance of an inverse association between energy density and energy costs while promoting the perception that healthier diets cost more, when their own data show that the highest-energy-dense diets (‘‘least healthy...
متن کاملEnergy-dense diets are associated with lower diet costs: a community study of French adults.
OBJECTIVE High consumption of energy-dense foods has been linked to high energy intakes and excess weight gain. This study tested the hypothesis that high energy density of the total diet is associated with lower diet costs. DESIGN Dietary intakes of 837 French adults, aged 18-76 years, were assessed using a dietary history method. Dietary energy density (MJ kg(-1)) was calculated by dividing...
متن کاملLow energy density and high nutritional quality are each associated with higher diet costs in French adults.
BACKGROUND Low-energy-density diets are associated with higher diet costs per 10 MJ. Are diets of higher nutritional quality also associated with higher costs per 10 MJ? OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the relations between energy-adjusted diet costs, dietary energy density, and nutritional quality of diets. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study of a nationally representative sam...
متن کاملLower-energy-density diets are associated with higher monetary costs per kilocalorie and are consumed by women of higher socioeconomic status.
OBJECTIVE Diets of lower energy density are associated with higher diet quality, lower body weights, and better health outcomes. This study examined associations among dietary energy density, energy-adjusted diet costs, and socioeconomic indicators of study participants. DESIGN In this cross-sectional study, energy and nutrient intakes for 164 men and women aged 25 to 65 years were obtained u...
متن کاملEnergy density, energy costs and income - how are they related?
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between energy density and energy costs in single food items and composed diets, and to explore differences in energy density and energy cost between income levels. DESIGN A cross-sectional study using data from two Dutch cohort studies and recent national food prices. Food prices were retrieved from two market leader supermarkets. Data on dietary intake w...
