Changes in Eating Patterns and Diet Quality Among Working-Age Adults, 2005-2010

This study analyzes how improvements in dietary quality among working-age adults from 2005 to 2010 may be related to reduced consumption of food away from home.

Errata: On May 13, 2014 the note to Table 5 in "Changes in Eating Patterns and Diet Quality Among Working-Age Adults, 2005-2010," was revised. It stated that household income relative to the poverty line was included in the regressions that were reported in the table, but in fact this variable was not included in the regression. The estimates in the table did not change.

Keywords: Food intake, diet quality, food away from home, recession
