  "abstract": "Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the relationship between plant-forward dietary patterns and metabolic profiles.\n\nMethods: A repeated cross-sectional analysis of adults aged 18 years or older was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), 2009–2023. Plant-forward dietary adherence was estimated from the mean of two 24-hour dietary recalls and categorized into tertiles. Survey-weighted multivariable regression examined associations with body mass index (BMI), obesity, prediabetes, and diabetes, adjusting for demographic, socioeconomic, dietary, and behavioral factors.\n\nResults: Among 33,532 NHANES participants, greater plant-forward dietary adherence was associated with lower BMI (β = −1.45; 95% CI, −1.82 to −1.09), lower odds of obesity (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.70; 95% CI, 0.62–0.79) and diabetes (AOR = 0.72; 95% CI, 0.62–0.84) but not prediabetes (AOR = 0.92; 95% CI, 0.82–1.04).\n\nConclusion: Greater adherence to plant-forward dietary patterns was associated with lower BMI and reduced odds of obesity and diabetes among US adults.",
