Figure 2. Absolute and Proportional Cardiometabolic Disease Mortality Associated With Overall Suboptimal Diet in the United States in 2012 by Population Subgroups.

Figure 2

The bars represent the estimated absolute number (left panel) and percentage (right panel) of cardiometabolic deaths jointly related to suboptimal intakes of 10 dietary factors. The 10 factors were low intakes of fruits, vegetables, nuts/seeds, whole grains, seafood omega-3 fats, and polyunsaturated fats (replacing saturated fats) and high intakes of sodium, unprocessed red meats, processed meats, and sugar-sweetened beverages (see Table 1 for details). Error bars indicate 95% uncertainty intervals. CHD indicates coronary heart disease; CVD, cardiovascular disease.
