Associations between indicators of environmental sustainability and the DI score measuring the adherence to the EAT–Lancet reference diet in 298 participants from the DONALD (Dortmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinal Designed) study1
| Tertiles of the DI score | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indicators of environmental sustainability | β (95% CI)2 | P value2 | Tertile 1 (n = 99) | Tertile 2 (n = 98) | Tertile 3 (n = 101) | P-trend3 |
| Greenhouse gas emissions (kgCO2eq/2500 kcal) | −0.22 (−0.30, −0.14) | <0.001 | 6.48 (6.28, 6.67) | 6.08 (5.88, 6.28) | 5.85 (5.66, 6.05) | <0.001 |
| Land use (m2 × y/2500 kcal) | −0.40 (−0.52, −0.29) | <0.001 | 8.24 (7.95, 8.52) | 7.61 (7.32, 7.90) | 7.16 (6.87, 7.44) | <0.001 |
1
Values are crude mean estimates (95% CIs) obtained from linear regression. DI, dietary index; kgCO2eq, kilogram of carbon dioxide equivalents.
2
Linear model including the DI score as a continuous variable.
3
P value for trend across tertiles of the DI score.
