This review and meta-analysis examines dietary pattern studies that used principal component analysis to identify patterns and summarizes three main patterns that emerge from the literature. The patterns identified are a "healthy" plant-based diet, a "western" animal protein, refined grain pattern, and in fewer studies a "drinker" pattern identified by relatively higher alcohol intake. The patterns are consistent across studies despite differences in the food that comprise the patterns.

This study examined a posteriori dietary patterns in black American women. Patterns identified were similar to those found in white populations in America and Europe. Associations were similar in this population to those observed in more studied cohorts.

This study uses a relatively new method of deriving dietary patterns using linear regression and a biomarker intermediary, the technique similar to reduced rank regression. The strengths of both a priori hypotheses and a posteriori observation are utilized.

Is concordance with World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research guidelines for cancer prevention related to subsequent risk of cancer? Results from the EPIC study. Am J Clin Nutr. 2012; 96: 150-63. This study applied a risk score based on the WCFR/AICR guidelines to a cohort to test the ability of the guidelines to act in concert as a dietary pattern that is effective for prevention of colorectal cancer. The guidelines were created for cancer prevention in general, testing against specific forms of cancer is an important step in verifying their validity.
