• The PC1 gradient distinguishes the dietary patterns of Tessekere (Senegal) from those of the Caribbean Coast (Guadeloupe) and Oyapock (French Guiana).
• Participants are incrementally less likely to declare bad health when residing in Oyapock (French Guiana), Estarreja (Portugal), or the Caribbean Coast (Guadeloupe) as opposed to Tessekere (Senegal).

• The Caribbean Coast (Guadeloupe) and the Oyapock River region (French Guiana) exhibit similar and high Dietary Diversity Scores (DDS), with meat consumption serving as a key indicator of their dietary typology.

• The ranking of mean Dietary Diversity Scores by region, from highest to lowest, is Caribbean Coast (Guadeloupe), Oyapock (French Guiana), Estarreja (Portugal), and Tessekere (Senegal).
• The study conducted interviews and dietary assessments at four specific locations during 2023: OHMi Tessekere (Senegal) from 26/05/2023 to 20/07/2023; OHMi Estarreja (Portugal) from 23/03/2023 to 15/10/2023; OHM Littoral-Caraïbe (Guadeloupe) from 19/03/2023 to 27/09/2023; and OHM Oyapock (French Guiana) from 04/04/2023 to 21/06/2023.
