Abstract

Adolescence to early adulthood is a period of multiple life transitions. Changing resources and contexts along with these transitions could contribute to significant changes in diet, which may persist into later adulthood. This project investigated diet quality trajectories from age 15 to 31 years and changes in diet quality associated with life transitions, by sex. Data used are from the Project EAT study in Minnesota, the US.
