Nutritional adequacy of the EAT-Lancet planetary health diet: cross-sectional analyses of the United Kingdom National Diet and Nutrition Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The EAT-Lancet planetary health diet (PHD) has been designed to benefit both human and planetary health, but questions remain regarding its nutritional adequacy.

Objectives

This study aimed to assess the nutritional adequacy of the PHD by evaluating diets in the United Kingdom (UK) population and comparing the PHD with the Mediterranean diet.

Methods

Dietary data from participants aged ≥15 y from the nationally representative, serial, cross-sectional UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey (2008-2019) who completed 4-d food diaries (n = 9671) were analyzed. Nutritional biomarkers were available in a subset (n = 4622). Alignment with the PHD was assessed based on consumption of 14-food components (PHD score range 0-140). Analyses were age-stratified and adjust
