Persistent disparities affecting US racial/ethnic minorities present a continuing challenge within the larger picture of chronic disease prevention, in part because of the socio-political disadvantages that affect minority populations. Many of these disparities are nutrition related. Complementary approaches to identifying priorities for nutrition assessment and intervention in minority populations include: 1) a dietary perspective that considers eating patterns in relation to current dietary guidelines, and 2) a chronic disease perspective that considers dietary implications of population risk profiles. Integrating these perspectives requires additional considerations of feasibility and relative priority for the population in question.
在美国，长期存在的影响少数族裔的差异在慢性病预防的大背景下持续构成挑战，部分原因是影响少数族裔人口的社会政治劣势。其中许多差异与营养相关。确定少数族裔人群营养评估和干预重点的补充方法包括：1）从饮食角度考虑与当前饮食指南相关的饮食模式，以及2）从慢性病角度考虑人群风险状况的饮食影响。整合这些观点需要额外考虑所涉人群的可行性和相对优先级。
