hypertriglyceridemia, diet-related chronic diseases
HYPERTRIGLYCERIDEMIA
Higher diet quality, as measured by adherence to the MedDiet or a low inflammatory index, was associated with a higher dietary cost per 1,000 kcal/day. Lower dietary expenditures were associated with a higher prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-cholesterol levels. Therefore, food prices can be an important component of interventions and policies aimed at improving people's diets and preventing diet-related chronic diseases.
