Abstract
⺠Individuals with low socioeconomic position (SEP) have in general less healthy dietary habits than individuals with high SEP. ⺠It has been discussed, but is unclear from the scientific literature, if the social inequality in dietary quality will actually increase by giving individualised lifestyle counselling. ⺠Surprisingly participants with low SEP improved their dietary habits relatively more than participants with high SEP. ⺠The results indicate that a population-based multi-factorial lifestyle intervention may reduce social inequality in dietary habits.
