The 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans: Adherence to Key Recommendations in Hispanic Females

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGAs) are released by the United States Department of Agriculture and Department of Health and Human Services to encourage consumption of a healthy eating pattern. Key recommendations of the 2015 DGAs include limiting saturated fats and sugars, and increasing consumption of a variety of fruits and vegetables, low‐fat dairy, and whole grains. The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) is commonly used as a measure of adherence, but the current HEI does not reflect the newest DGAs. Here, we propose a new HEI to assess adherence (HEI‐A) to the 2015 DGAs in a cohort of Hispanic females, a group disproportionately affected by obesity and related comorbidities.
