Non-communicable disease burden through adhering to Dutch dietary guidelines: a modeling study to estimate future reductions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-optimal food consumption is a major modifiable risk factor for non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We aimed to estimate the potential reductions in NCD burden that could be achieved in 2050 by adhering to eleven components of the Dutch dietary guidelines in the Netherlands.

Methods

Counterfactual scenarios, in which the entire Dutch population adhered to components of the dietary guidelines, were implemented to estimate future reductions in NCD burden using the DYNAMO-HIA software. Input data included nationally-representative food consumption data (Dutch National Food Consumption Survey 2012-2016), relative risks of food consumption on NCDs, Dutch NCD epidemiology, and the Dutch population structure.

Findings

Adhering to processed meat (0 g/d) and fruit
