- The study investigates the impact of the Planetary Health Diet (PHD) on chronic kidney disease (CKD), mortality risk, and environmental effects, considering socioeconomic deprivation.
- Higher adherence to PHD is associated with improved kidney function (eGFR), lower CKD prevalence, and reduced all-cause mortality in both UK Biobank and NHANES participants.
- PHD adherence correlates with lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and land use but higher water use.
- Stronger health benefits from PHD were observed in socioeconomically deprived populations, particularly in relation to kidney health and mortality.
- The findings support PHD as a beneficial strategy for both human and planetary health, with potential to mitigate health inequities.
