Diet quality is positively associated with intake of traditional foods and does not differ by season in remote Yup’ik communities
ABSTRACTThis study evaluated whether traditional food intake and diet quality differed by season in Yup’ik communities and examined the relationship between intake of traditional food groups and diet quality. Data were collected from 38 participants, ages 14–79 years, from two Yup’ik communities in...
