Abstract
Comparatively, rural communities in the U.S. experience a disproportionate burden of preventable chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Variations in diet quality may contribute to these health disparities. Six databases were systematically searched from the date of establishment to May 2024 for studies that reported intake of selected dietary components, diet quality, or dietary pattern among rural and nonrural U.S. adults. Findings suggest rural communities may consume less fruit and vegetables but more added sugar relative to nonrural communities. This review highlights the need for more comparative research between rural and nonrural areas on dietary behaviors.
