Abstract

TRADITIONALLY, nutritional epidemiology has largely focused on the effects of single nutrients or foods on disease outcomes.¹^-3 However, because nutrients and foods are consumed in combination, their joint effects may be best investigated by considering the entire eating pattern. Analyzing food consumption in the form of dietary patterns offers a perspective different from the traditional single-nutrient focus and may provide a comprehensive approach to disease prevention or treatment, which has been used in several settings, including Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension⁴ and the Lyon Diet Heart Study.⁵
