Adherence to the EAT-Lancet Planetary Health Diet in Portugal and its associations with socioeconomic and lifestyle factors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The Planetary Health Diet (PHDiet) proposed by the EAT-Lancet Commission is expected to bear health and environmental benefits. This study assesses adherence to the PHDiet in Portuguese adults and its associations with socioeconomic and lifestyle factors.

Multinomial regression models were used (i) to assess the construct validity through associations with diet q
