Variations in Dietary Patterns Defined by the Healthy Eating Index 2015 and Associations with Mortality: Findings from the Dietary Patterns Methods Project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is currently unknown if within high-quality dietary intake there exist distinct dietary patterns associated with health benefits that are identifiable with multidimensional dietary pattern analyses. The purpose of this study was to identify specific dietary patterns and groups therein and their associations with all-cause, CVD, and cancer mortality.

Methods

We conducted sex-specific k-means cluster analyses within Healthy Eating Index 2015 (HEI-2015) quintile 5 in 3 US cohorts [NIH-American Association of Retired Persons Diet and Health Study (AARP), the Multiethnic Cohort (MEC), Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (WHI OS)], clusters ranging from n = 1190 to n = 12,007. Characterizations incorporated HEI-2015 overall and component-specific percentage
