However, intakes of specific nutrients may also be associated with differential diet costs and unobserved differences in socioeconomic status (SES). The present study examined degrees of nutrient intake, for every key nutrient in the diet, in relation to diet cost and SES. Methods Socio-demographic data for a stratified random sample of adult respondents in the Seattle Obesity Study were obtained through telephone survey. Dietary intakes were assessed using food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) (n = 1,266). Following standard procedures, nutrient intakes were energy-adjusted using the residual method and converted into quintiles. Diet cost for each respondent was estimated using Seattle supermarket retail prices for 384 FFQ component foods. Results Higher intakes of dietary fiber, vitamins A, C, D, E, and B12, beta carotene, folate, iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium were associated with higher diet costs. The cost gradient was most pronounced for vitamin C, beta carotene, potassium, and magnesium. Higher intakes of saturated fats, trans fats and added sugars were associated with lower diet costs. Lower cost lower quality diets were more likely to be consumed by lower SES. Conclusion Nutrients commonly associated with a lower risk of chronic disease were associated with higher diet costs. By contrast, nutrients associated with higher disease risk were associated with lower diet costs. The cost variable may help somewhat explain why lower income groups fail to comply with dietary guidelines and have highest rates of diet related chronic disease." /> <meta name="citation_abstract" content="Purpose Degrees of nutrient intake and food groups have been linked to differential chronic disease risk.

By contrast, higher intakes of sugars, saturated fats and trans fats have been linked with a higher risk of heart disease <a href="#pone.0037533-Hu1" class="ref-tip">[27]</a>–<a href="#pone.0037533-Hu2" class="ref-tip">[30]</a>, obesity, and diabetes <a href="#pone.0037533-Schulze1" class="ref-tip">[31]</a>–<a href="#pone.0037533-Elliott1" class="ref-tip">[33]</a>. In many such studies, nutrient intakes were adjusted for energy using the method of residuals and the participants were divided into quintiles <a href="#pone.0037533-Martinez1" class="ref-tip">[6]</a>–<a href="#pone.0037533-Rimm2" class="ref-tip">[8]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Khaw1" class="ref-tip">[10]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Kushi1" class="ref-tip">[13]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-JacobsDR1" class="ref-tip">[17]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Ascherio1" class="ref-tip">[19]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Cui1" class="ref-tip">[21]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Hu2" class="ref-tip">[30]</a>. To account for the possibility that people with higher nutrient intakes differed in profound yet unobserved ways from those with lower nutrient intakes, many studies adjusted for socioeconomic status (SES) using proxy indicators such as smoking and physical activity <a href="#pone.0037533-Osganian1" class="ref-tip">[1]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Rimm1" class="ref-tip">[2]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Sun1" class="ref-tip">[4]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Martinez1" class="ref-tip">[6]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Cho1" class="ref-tip">[7]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-JacobsDR1" class="ref-tip">[17]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Khaw2" class="ref-tip">[24]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Bazzano1" class="ref-tip">[25]</a>. Promoting the consumption of beneficial nutrients while limiting the intake of added sugars and fats is a standard dietary guidance in US <a href="#pone.0037533-US1" class="ref-tip">[26]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-US2" class="ref-tip">[34]</a>.</p> <a id="article1.body1.sec1.p2" name="article1.body1.sec1.p2" class="link-target"></a><p>However, such dietary guidelines may not be feasible until factors underlying differential nutrient intakes are taken into account. Once such potential factor may be diet cost. Recent studies, mostly from outside US, have found links between nutrient intakes and estimated individual-level diet cost <a href="#pone.0037533-Andrieu1" class="ref-tip">[35]</a>–<a href="#pone.0037533-Drewnowski1" class="ref-tip">[39]</a>. Lower energy-adjusted diet cost was associated with lower intakes of protein, fiber, and some key vitamins and minerals, raising the issues of nutrient adequacy of diets of lower-income groups. Within the US, there are limited data on the relation between diet quality and diet cost, particularly at the level of every nutrient in the diet <a href="#pone.0037533-Monsivais1" class="ref-tip">[40]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Townsend1" class="ref-tip">[41]</a>. Further, there has been a controversy whether lower cost diets are truly selected by lower income groups.</p> <a id="article1.body1.sec1.p3" name="article1.body1.sec1.p3" class="link-target"></a><p>The purpose of the present study was to examine if degree of nutrient intakes commonly associated with lower disease risk and improved health outcomes would be associated with higher diet costs. Conversely, whether degree of nutrient intakes commonly associated with adverse health outcomes would be associated with lower diet cost. The cost gradient might help explain why lower income groups have least nutrient adequate diets and are at higher risk for chronic disease including obesity and diabetes.</p> <a id="article1.body1.sec1.p4" name="article1.body1.sec1.p4" class="link-target"></a><p>The present study followed standard procedures of estimating and defining each nutrient intake <a href="#pone.0037533-Willett1" class="ref-tip">[42]</a>. Nutrient intakes were adjusted for energy using the method of residuals and the participants were divided into quintiles. The primary hypotheses were that the recommended nutrients, notably dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals, would be associated with higher diet costs whereas nutrients to limit, notably sugars and fat, would be associated with lower diet costs. The secondary hypothesis was that lower-cost lower-quality diets would be more likely to be consumed by lower SES respondents.</p> </div> <div xmlns:plos="http://plos.org" id="section2" class="section toc-section"><a id="s2" name="s2" data-toc="s2" class="link-target" title="Methods"></a><h2>Methods</h2> <div id="section1" class="section toc-section"><a id="s2a" name="s2a" class="link-target" title="Ethics Statement"></a> <h3>Ethics Statement</h3> <a id="article1.body1.sec2.sec1.p1" name="article1.body1.sec2.sec1.p1" class="link-target"></a><p>All the study protocols and study instruments were approved by Institutional Review Board (IRB) at University of Washington.</p> </div> <div id="section2" class="section toc-section"><a id="s2b" name="s2b" class="link-target" title="Participant Sample"></a> <h3>Participant Sample</h3> <a id="article1.body1.sec2.sec2.p1" name="article1.body1.sec2.sec2.p1" class="link-target"></a><p>Methods and procedures for the Seattle Obesity Study (S.O.S.) have been published <a href="#pone.0037533-Monsivais2" class="ref-tip">[43]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Aggarwal1" class="ref-tip">[44]</a>. The S.O.S. used a stratified area-based sampling to ensure adequate representation by income range and race/ethnicity. The sampling procedures and survey administration were modeled on the Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance System (BRFSS) telephone surveys conducted by state and local health departments. Randomly generated telephone numbers were matched with residential addresses using commercial databases. All the potential respondents were sent a pre-notification letter followed by the telephone call. Once the contact was made, an adult member of the household was randomly selected as the respondent using CATI (computer assisted telephone interview) program. All the study procedures were explained to the selected respondent and a verbal consent to participate in the study was obtained.

The present study, for the first time, examined degrees of nutrient intakes, for every key nutrient in the diet, in relation to estimated diet cost and participant SES. The study took care to follow standard epidemiological adjustment and stratification techniques.</p> <a id="article1.body1.sec4.p2" name="article1.body1.sec4.p2" class="link-target"></a><p>There were significant findings. First, lower intakes of beneficial nutrients were associated with lower diet costs. Study respondents with lowest intakes of dietary fiber, vitamins A, C, D, E, and B12, beta carotene, folate, iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium were also those who had lowest estimated diet costs. Coincidentally, some of these nutrients have been identified as nutrients of concern by the 2010 Dietary Guidelines <a href="#pone.0037533-US1" class="ref-tip">[26]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-US2" class="ref-tip">[34]</a>. By contrast, higher intakes of fats and added sugars, typically associated with adverse health outcomes, were associated with lower diet costs. These are the nutrients to limit, as identified by the 2010 dietary guidelines <a href="#pone.0037533-US1" class="ref-tip">[26]</a>. Based on current eating habits, compliance with dietary guidelines is likely to entail higher diet costs for the consumer.</p> <a id="article1.body1.sec4.p3" name="article1.body1.sec4.p3" class="link-target"></a><p>Second, persons with lower cost lower quality diets were more likely to be from lower SES groups. These findings are consistent with the existing literature on SES and diet quality <a href="#pone.0037533-Darmon2" class="ref-tip">[56]</a> and diet cost <a href="#pone.0037533-Monsivais1" class="ref-tip">[40]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Aggarwal1" class="ref-tip">[44]</a>.</p> <a id="article1.body1.sec4.p4" name="article1.body1.sec4.p4" class="link-target"></a><p>However, not all beneficial nutrients were equally expensive. The most pronounced positive gradient with diet cost was seen for vitamin C, beta carotene, potassium and magnesium – nutrients primarily obtained from fruits and vegetables. By contrast, calcium and vitamin D showed a weaker associations with diet cost, likely because milk and milk products are relatively inexpensive <a href="#pone.0037533-SourcesofCalciumamongtheUS1" class="ref-tip">[57]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Drewnowski2" class="ref-tip">[58]</a>. Iron and folate also showed a weak association with diet cost, which may reflect the ubiquity and relatively low cost of grain products fortified with iron and folate. Further, gender differences were observed in some of these associations. Women with higher intakes of certain beneficial nutrients such as potassium and magnesium tend to have significantly higher diet costs as compared to men. This could be attributed to overall higher intakes of such nutrients per kcal among women than men, and that women also tend to choose more expensive sources of such nutrients. A recent study based on national level health survey found that women tend to have higher consumption of fruits and vegetables while men consume more meats <a href="#pone.0037533-Rehm1" class="ref-tip">[59]</a>. Consistent findings were obtained in the present sample (results not shown).</p> <a id="article1.body1.sec4.p5" name="article1.body1.sec4.p5" class="link-target"></a><p>There is clearly a need to identify and promote inexpensive food sources of key nutrients in order to improve the dietary quality of lower SES groups. A recent analysis of the 4 shortfall nutrients in the US diets showed that, in the context of current eating habits, complying with potassium guidelines was a particular challenge <a href="#pone.0037533-Monsivais4" class="ref-tip">[60]</a>.</p> <a id="article1.body1.sec4.p6" name="article1.body1.sec4.p6" class="link-target"></a><p>The present study had certain limitations. First, estimates of nutrient intakes and diet cost were each based on FFQs, which has certain known biases <a href="#pone.0037533-Willett1" class="ref-tip">[42]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Drewnowski3" class="ref-tip">[61]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Kristal1" class="ref-tip">[62]</a>. However, it is a useful tool to make comparisons across subjects and has been widely used in nutritional epidemiological studies. Second, diet cost estimates do not represent actual expenditures made by the study sample. Instead, these represent the lowest monetary value of the diet at which foods were available in the key retail supermarkets in the Puget Sound area. This method of estimating diet cost, in fact, offered certain advantages: a) it did not allow variation in diet cost, among individuals, simply due to differences in price of the same food item across stores, or due to differences in the amount spent while eating out, b) the use of retail food prices to calculate individual diet cost is the only method of estimating diet cost in the existing literature <a href="#pone.0037533-Monsivais1" class="ref-tip">[40]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Monsivais3" class="ref-tip">[50]</a>, <a href="#pone.0037533-Drewnowski4" class="ref-tip">[63]</a>–<a href="#pone.0037533-Murakami1" class="ref-tip">[66]</a> and opens the door to individual level studies on diet cost, diet quality and health. Third, the average calorie intakes observed in the present sample were lower. However, this could be attributed to higher proportion of older adults (mean age of the present sample was 56 years) as these values were comparable to calorie intake estimates observed in National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES, 2001–08) and other health studies for that age, particularly for women. Fourth, the present study was based on cross sectional data, hence, associations observed between SES, diet cost and nutrient intakes cannot be causally interpreted.</p> <a id="article1.body1.sec4.p7" name="article1.body1.sec4.p7" class="link-target"></a><p>Nonetheless, the present findings have implications for future research. First, diet cost variable ought to be taken into account in future studies on diets and disease risk. Second, further research is needed to identify cheaper ways of promoting beneficial nutrients to the consumer, particularly among lower income and lower education group.</p> </div> <div xmlns:plos="http://plos.org" class="contributions toc-section"><a id="authcontrib" name="authcontrib" data-toc="authcontrib" title="Author Contributions"></a><h2>Author Contributions</h2><p>Conceived and designed the experiments: AA PM AD.
