Nutrition-related health disparities

Nutrition-related health disparities refer to differences in health outcomes caused by unequal access to nutritious foods and resources across different populations. Factors like income, geographic location, education, and cultural barriers can limit some groups’ ability to maintain healthy diets. This often leads to higher rates of preventable diseases like obesity, diabetes, and heart conditions among disadvantaged communities. Addressing these disparities involves improving food accessibility, affordability, education, and healthcare services to ensure everyone has the opportunity to eat healthily and stay well.
