Adherence to WHO’s nutrition recommendations in the UK: Dietary patterns and policy implications from a national survey

Giuseppe Nocella and Chittur Srinivasan

Food Policy, 2019, vol. 86, issue C, -

Abstract: Analysis of dietary patterns has largely focused on their association with diseases or risk factors, but limited research has been conducted on the heterogeneity of population dietary patterns and their adherence to international or national nutritional guidelines. As a result, the aim of this study is to identify latent dietary patterns of UK residents and to assess how well different segments comply with WHO dietary norms.
