Diet Quality Trajectories From Infancy to Young Adulthood: The Special Turku Coronary Risk Factor Intervention Project (STRIP) Study.
Article in The Journal of nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundStability in dietary habits has been observed during childhood and adolescence, but their stability from infancy to adulthood is less known.
objectivesOur aim was to identify latent diet quality trajectories from age 1 to 18 y and to examine their association with diet quality at age 26 y.
methodsThe study included 620 participants from the Special Turku Coronary Risk Factor Intervention Project, initiated in infancy. Food and nutrient intake were assessed annually from age 1 to 18 y and again at age 26 y using food records. A food-based diet score (range: 0-33) was calculated to indicate diet quality. Group-based modeling was used to model trajectories of diet quality between the ages of 1 and 18 y. Logistic regression analysis examined associations of childhood sociodemographic characteristics with diet trajectories. Linear regression analyses investigated associations between the observed developmental diet quality trajectory groups and diet quality at age 26 y, adjusted for adulthood sociodemographic characteristics.
resultsFrom age 1 to 18 y, 5 diet quality trajectory groups were identified: low (19% of participants), decreasing (25%), increasing (15%), intermediate (31%), and high (10%). Throughout the follow-up period, the diet score remained at 20-22 in the high diet quality trajectory group and at 11-13 in the low diet quality trajectory group. The diet quality trajectory groups predicted diet quality at age 26 y (P < 0.001). The adjusted mean difference in adulthood diet score between the low and high diet trajectory groups was 3.6 (95% CI: 1.5, 5.7). Notably, participants in the intervention group had higher scores than controls across all trajectories and throughout the entire follow-up period.
conclusionsThe 5 distinct diet quality trajectory groups from infancy to adulthood highlight a clear difference between the highest and lowest diet quality groups. The findings suggest that dietary habits established in early childhood remain moderately stable into early adulthood.
