Secular trends in diet-related greenhouse gas emission estimates since 2000 - a shift towards sustainable diets in Sweden.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study examines secular changes in diet-related greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) in younger and older Swedish adults, since the turn of this century.

Design

Two cross-sectional health examination surveys were conducted in 2001-2004 (T1) and 2014-2018 (T2). At both times, an eighty-six-item FFQ was embedded in the survey. From the food frequencies and age-standardised portion sizes, GHGE estimates (kg CO2e/year) were calculated. GHGE was modelled as a function of time period and covariates, for five distinct age groups.

Setting

The municipality of Gothenburg, in western Sweden.

Participants

Women and men aged 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64 and 65-75 years were randomly selected from the population registry and recruited for examinations. After exclusion
