Adherence to the Swedish dietary guidelines and the impact on mortality and climate in a population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the associations between adherence to the Swedish dietary guidelines and all-cause mortality (i.e. assessing the index' ability to predict health outcomes), as well as levels of dietary greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs).

Design

A longitudinal study 1990-2016 within the population-based cohort Västerbotten Intervention Programme. Dietary data were based on FFQs. Diet quality was assessed by the Swedish Healthy Eating Index for Adults 2015 (SHEIA15), based on the 2015 Swedish dietary guidelines. Dietary GHGEs were estimated from life cycle assessment data including emissions from farm to industry gate. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95 % CI of all-cause mortality were evaluated with Cox proportional hazards regression, and differences in median GHGEs were tested bet
