Objective: We aimed to investigate the association between multiple measures of socio-economic position (SEP) and diet quality, using a diet quality index representing current national dietary guidelines, in the Australian adult population.Design: Cross-sectional study.

The association between indicators of SEP and DGI score was consistently stronger among those aged
