Sammanfattning
Background: The proportion of the US adult population who meet fiber intake recommendations
is very low. Information about food groups consumed and diet quality for the adults who consume
recommended amounts of fiber are scarce.
Objective: To examine food groups consumed and Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2010) scores for US
adults meeting the fiber adequate intake (AI) based on National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey (NHANES) data 2001–2010.
Design: A secondary analysis of NHANES data from 2001 to 2010. Participants included adults aged
19 and older (n=24,807) with complete day 1 dietary records. Variables measured were food group
sources of fiber and HEI-2010 scores. Sample-weighted data were used to calculate least square
means (LSM)±standard error of the mean (SEM) by fiber intake quartile along with HEI-2010 scores.
Significance was set at P<0.05.
Results: Major fiber food sources for US adults meeting the AI were grain products, vegetables,
legumes, and fruits. The top grain products consumed were grain mixtures, ready-to-eat (RTE)
cereals, and breads/rolls. The mean HEI-2010 score for adults meeting the AI for fiber was
significantly (P<0.001) higher compared with all adult participants. The mean HEI-2010 score
increased with increasing fiber intake in both groups.
Conclusions: Adults who meet the AI for fiber have a higher quality diet. Fiber may be an important
dietary component that predicts diet quality.
