Table 5. Total deaths delayed or averted per year by nutritional changes in the dietary scenarios compared with baseline diets.

  Deaths averted or delayed 95% Credible intervals
Scenario 1    
 Fruits and vegetables 27 866 21 254–33 878
 Fibre 7470 3275–11 423
 Fats 2847 2351–3653
 Salt 658 539–776
 All dietary components 36 910 30 192–43 592
     
Scenario 2    
 Fruits and vegetables 694 526–871
 Fibre 0 0–0
 Fats 983 763–1312
 Salt 330 271–389
 All dietary components 1999 1739–2389
     
Scenario 3    
 Fruits and vegetables 6408 4882–7998
 Fibre 2383 1066–3750
 Fats 289 241–367
 Salt 330 271–389
 All dietary components 9297 7288–11 301

Note: estimates for each dietary component are the change that would result if only the individual component changed in the counterfactual scenario. The ‘all dietary components' rows are less than the sums of the individual dietary components as double counting has been accounted for in the modelling process.
