Abstract
Diet quality is a key determinant of chronic disease and
shares a similar socioeconomic patterning. Inequities in diet quality
are stable or widening in the US, however these trends have not been
examined in other nations. Moreover, prior US studies only examined
differences in diet quality between the most and least disadvantaged
groups in absolute terms. Quantifying trends in relative terms and
along the full socioeconomic gradient according to multiple indicators
of socioeconomic position (SEP) can provide a more comprehensive
perspective to inform optimal points of intervention. The purpose of
this study was to quantify nationally representative trends in absolute
and relative gaps and gradients in diet quality between 2004 and 2015
according to three indicators of SEP among adults living in Canada.
