Abstract
Disparities in Diet Quality in School-Age Children—Opportunities and Challenges
Highlights
The significant improvement in diet quality from schools is striking and promising
For food consumed at schools in 2017 to 2018, the mean American Heart Association score was 39.5, and the mean Healthy Eating Index–2015 score was 51.6.1
A tiny fraction of school food quality meets the ideal criteria defined by American Heart
Summary
The significant improvement in diet quality from schools is striking and promising. The findings reported by Liu et al[1] support that policies that have aimed to improve nutrition in school settings have been effective. Increasing access to healthy foods at school settings does provide an opportunity to promote diet quality in school-age children.
