Misperception of diet quality among US adults: implications for cardiometabolic health promotion
Nearly half of US adults had poor diet quality based on AHA guidelines for cardiovascular health, yet nearly a quarter of them perceived their diet as healthy. This gap underscores the need for focused educational efforts and interventions in both healthcare and public health settings to dispel diet-related misperceptions and motivate the adoption of a healthier diet to address cardiometabolic health.
