The Relationship Between Diet Quality and 21-Year Cumulative Health Care Costs Among Australian Women: A Longitudinal Cohort Study
Baseline greater variety of vegetables was correlated with fewer 21-year health care claims and costs. Worsening diet quality over time was correlated with greater cumulative health care claims and costs. Consideration of dietary quality and variety in national policy is suggested to potentially reduce national health care claims and costs.
