Change in hyper-palatable food availability in the US food system over 30 years: 1988-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To quantify the change in availability of hyper-palatable foods (HPF) in the US foods system over 30 years (1988-2018).

Design

Three datasets considered representative of the US food system were used in analyses to represent years 1988, 2001 and 2018. A standardised definition from Fazzino et al. (2019) that specifies combinations of nutrients was used to identify HPF.

Setting

Analysis of food-item level data was conducted. Differences in the prevalence of HPF were characterised by Cochran's Q and McNemar's tests. Generalised linear mixed models with a fixed effect for time and random intercept for food item estimated change in the likelihood that a food was classified as hyper-palatable over time.

Participants

No participant data were used.
