Cuina mediterrània Hàbits alimentaris Persones grans Espanya Mediterranean cooking Food habits Older people Spain Background: A major barrier to a healthy diet may be the higher price of healthy foods compared to low-quality foods. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the association between the monetary cost of food and diet quality in Spanish older adults at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis was carried out in Spanish older adults (n = 6,838; 48.6% female). A validated food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary intake. Metabolic syndrome severity, adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), adherence to a provegetarian dietary pattern, and dietary inflammatory index were assessed. The economic cost of the foods was obtained from the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food database (2015-2017, the period of time when the participants were recruited). The total cost of diet adjusted per 1,000 kcal was computed. Results: The healthier dietary pattern was associated with a higher cost of the diet. Higher adherence to the MedDiet, anti-inflammatory diet, and the healthy version of the provegetarian dietary pattern were related to higher costs of the diet. Conclusion: Higher diet quality was associated with a higher dietary cost of the diet per 1,000 kcal/day. Food prices can be an important component of interventions and policies aimed at improving people's diets and preventing diet-related chronic diseases. 2025-12-09T18:37:52Z 2025-12-09T18:37:52Z 2023-07-25 2025-12-09T18:37:52Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2023.1166787 Frontiers In Public Health, 2023, vol. 11 https://doi.org/10.3389/fpubh.2023.1166787 cc-by (c) Bouzas, Cristina et al., 2023 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Frontiers Media Articles publicats en revistes (Ciències Clíniques)
