Dietary quality, greenhouse gas emissions related to food consumption, and human health: A population-based cohort study in northern Sweden
The overall aim of this thesis was to assess dietary quality and dietary-related greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs), and their association with health outcomes, in a population-based cohort in northern Sweden. Dietary data were collected among participants within the cohort Västerbotten Intervention P...

The overall aim of this thesis was to assess dietary quality and dietary-related greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs), and their association with health outcomes, in a population-based cohort in northern Sweden.

Dietary GHGEs were estimated using the RISE Food and Climate Database. Dietary nutrient density was calculated by the Nutrient Rich Foods (NRF) index in Study I and Study II.
