- The EAT-Lancet planetary health diet emphasizes plant-based foods with moderate animal-sourced foods.
- Study evaluates nutrient adequacy of the EAT-Lancet diet using Swedish population data (Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort, n=25,970).
- Seven different EAT-Lancet diet scores were used to measure adherence, with varied results based on scoring methods.
- Higher adherence generally linked to adequate intake of vitamins A, E, B6, folate, C, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
- Energy adjustment increased likelihood of nutrient adequacy.
- Higher adherence reduced folate deficiency risk but slightly increased anemia risk in women.
- No significant deficiency risks for selenium, zinc, or vitamin D in women; men showed lower vitamin D deficiency risk.
- Findings highlight the need for standardized frameworks in assessing sustainable diets.
