Trends in dietary patterns and compliance with World Health Organization recommendations: a cross-country analysis.

Objectives: To investigate time patterns of compliance with nutrient goals recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Design: A single aggregated indicator of distance from the key WHO recommendations for a healthy diet is built using FAOSTAT intake data, bounded between 0 (maximum possible distance from goals) and 1 (perfect adherence). Two hypotheses are tested for different country groupings: (1) whether adherence has improved over time; and (2) whether cross-country disparities in terms of diet healthiness have decreased.
