We examined the stability of dietary patterns (DPs) from childhood through adolescence and into young adulthood (from age 8 to 34 years). Data from 130 participants (53 females) of Saskatchewan Pediatric Bone Mineral Accrual Study (aged 8\u201315 years, at baseline) were included. Multiple 24-h recalls were collected annually from 1991 to 1997, 2002 to 2005, and 2010 and 2011. Using principal component analysis, \u201cVegetarian-style\u201d, \u201cWestern-like\u201d, \u201cHigh-fat, high-protein\u201d, \u201cMixed\u201d, and \u201cSnack\u201d DPs were derived at baseline. Applied DP scores for all annual measurements were calculated using factor loading of baseline DPs and energy-adjusted food group intakes. We analyzed data using generalized estimating equations. The tracking coefficient represents correlation between baseline dietary pattern scores and all other follow-up dietary pattern scores. We found a moderate tracking for the \u201cVegetarian-style\u201d (\u03b2 = 0.44, p &lt; 0.001) and \u201cHigh-fat, high-protein\u201d (\u03b2 = 0.39, p &lt; 0.001) DPs in females and \u201cVegetarian-style\u201d DP (\u03b2 = 0.30, p &lt; 0.001) in males. The remaining DPs showed poor-to-fair tracking in both sexes. No tracking for \u201cWestern-like\u201d DP in females was observed. Assessing overall change in DP scores from childhood to young adulthood showed an increasing trend in adherence to \u201cVegetarian-style\u201d DP and decreasing trend in adherence to \u201cHigh-fat, high-protein\u201d DP by age in both sexes (p &lt; 0.001), while \u201cWestern-like\u201d and \u201cMixed\u201d DP scores increased only in males (p &lt; 0.001). These findings suggest that healthy dietary habits established during childhood and adolescence moderately continue into adulthood.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu9090990","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,11]],"date-time":"2017-09-11T02:01:30Z","timestamp":1505095290000},"page":"990","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":195,"title":["Tracking Dietary Patterns over 20 Years from Childhood through Adolescence into Young Adulthood: The Saskatchewan Pediatric Bone Mineral Accrual Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4814-7792","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elham","family":"Movassagh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N 2Z4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0430-0556","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adam","family":"Baxter-Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Kinesiology, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N5B2, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saija","family":"Kontulainen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Kinesiology, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N5B2, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susan","family":"Whiting","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N 2Z4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2621-8385","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hassanali","family":"Vatanparast","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK S7N 2Z4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"615","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jada.2004.01.010","article-title":"Dietary patterns and health outcomes","volume":"104","author":"Kant","year":"2004","journal-title":"J.
