The results were consistent for non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic Black, and Hispanic people. The current DGAs (2015-2020) recommend multiple healthy eating patterns that can be adapted to individual food traditions and preferences

A new study found that a variety of healthy eating habits are associated with a lower chance of dying before your time. They discovered that in comparison to participants with lower scores, those with high scores on adherence to at least one of four healthy eating patterns had a lower risk of passing away during the course of the study from any cause and a lower risk of passing away from cardiovascular disease, cancer, or respiratory disease.
The findings are consistent with the current Dietary Guidelines for America, which recommend multiple healthy eating patterns. The study was published online in JAMA Internal Medicine. "The Dietary Guidelines for Americans are intended to provide science-based dietary advice that promotes good health and reduces major chronic diseases. Thus, it is critical to examine the associations between DGAs-recommended dietary patterns and long-term health outcomes, especially mortality," said corresponding author Frank Hu, Fredrick J. Stare Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology and chair of the Department of Nutrition.
