Each of the modelling exercises was based on a 100 % increase in plant-based foods, protein-rich plant-based foods or dairy foods as consumed. The models increased/decreased foods as consumed and did not change the individual foods found in mixed dishes.

Meaningfully different from baseline due to non-overlapping 95th percentile confidence intervals.
