Balancing Environmental Sustainability and Nutrition: Dietary Climate Impact in Relation to Micronutrient Intake and Status in a Swedish Cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dietary shift is necessary for improving public health, mitigating climate change, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Adaption of climate-friendly diets might prevent chronic diseases and reduce mortality; however, consuming diets with a low climate impact have been suggested to increase risk of some micronutrient deficiencies.

Objectives

This study aimed to examine whether self-reported dietary intake varying in climate impact is associated with nutritional risks and benefits based on both dietary intakes and blood concentrations of micronutrients.

Methods

In the cross-sectional Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort (MDC, n = 25,970), dietary data were collected using a modified diet history method (food frequency questionnaire, diary, and inte
