In four articles in the Journal of Nutrition and Dietetics, published by Elsevier, leading nutrition experts describe and evaluate the latest versions of the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), issued to correspond to the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA). For the first time, there are two new HEIs, one for children and adults 2 years and older, and one for young children aged 12 through 23 months.
The study introduces the Planetary Health Diet Index for the United States (PHDI-US) to evaluate how well U.S. adults adhere to a diet that's both nutritious and environmentally sustainable. Findings reveal significant disparities in adherence based on race, income, and other demographic factors, providing critical insights for promoting sustainable eating practices.
