The government realized that the cost of illness and death, caused by
diet-related diseases had become an economic and social problem.
In response to these concerns, The Dietary Guidelines for Australians
(1982-92), were published.
In 1990, the original dietary guidelines were reviewed and reordered.
Two new sub guidelines on calcium and iron were added. Two specific
sets of guidelines for children, adolescents and older Australians were
introduced.
The latest editions of the dietary Guidelines for Australian adults, focus
on food groups and lifestyle patterns, rather than specific nutrients.
