Adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet in midlife and development in weight or waist circumference after five years in a Danish cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The EAT-Lancet reference diet has been proposed as a healthy dietary pattern to reduce food-related climate impacts, but little is known regarding associations with bodyweight development. This study investigated adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet in midlife and development in weight and waist circumference (WC) after five years.
