Adherence to dietary recommendations for Swedish adults across categories of greenhouse gas emissions from food.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore associations between diet-related greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE), nutrient intakes and adherence to the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations among Swedish adults.

Design

Diet was assessed by 4d food records in the Swedish National Dietary Survey. GHGE was estimated by linking all foods to carbon dioxide equivalents, using data from life cycle assessment studies. Participants were categorized into quartiles of energy-adjusted GHGE and differences between GHGE groups regarding nutrient intakes and adherence to nutrient recommendations were explored.

Setting

Sweden.

Subjects

Women (n 840) and men (n 627) aged 18-80 years.

Results

Differences in nutrient intakes and adherence to nutrient recommendations between GHGE groups were generally sm
