Characterizing diet quality indicators and their demographic determinants among adults: a population-based study in Northern Ghana
Consumption of staple foods was widespread. Vegetables were consumed frequently, but not fruits. Diets were only moderately diverse, and dietary patterns reflecting NCD-risk factors were prevalent. Dietary patterns reflecting NCD-risk factors were widespread. Ethnicity, marital status, and employment status significantly predicted diet quality indicators, informing future dietary guidelines.
