Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• EAT-Lancet Index score

  Food components in the EAT-Lancet diet are classified as "restricted foods" and "emphasized foods." Restricted foods include pork, beef, lamb, poultry, potatoes, eggs, and added sugar. Emphasized foods include fruits, vegetables, legumes, unsaturated fats, fish, whole grains, and nuts. Dietary intake is assessed based on the reported amounts in grams per day of uncooked weight, aligning with the target intake levels specified in the EAT-Lancet diet. The index consists of 14 food components, with each scored from 0 to 3. A score of 0 indicates low adherence to the target for a given food component, while a score of 3 reflects high adherence. The total index score ranges from 0 (no adherence) to 42 (perfect adherence, calculated as 14 components × 3 points). The food consumption frequency method was used to calculate the EAT-Lancet Index.

Occupations were classified into five groups according to the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO)-88: Groups 1-2, 3-4, 5-8, 6-7, and 9-10. Additionally, occupational skill levels were categorized into four levels (1 being the lowest and 4 the highest) based on ISCO-88.
