Life Expectancy Gain of Implementing the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023: Modeling From 8 Nordic and Baltic Countries.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dietary guidelines play a key role in promoting health and preventing chronic diseases. The Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR) 2023 provide updated recommendations for healthy eating relevant for the Nordic and Baltic countries, but the potential benefits have yet to be quantified.

Objectives

This study aimed to project the population health benefits, specifically, potential gains in life expectancy in Nordic and Baltic countries resulting from long-term dietary changes from current dietary patterns within each country to NNR2023.
