Health outcomes

What are the burdens of non-communicable diseases and mortality?


The module uses national-level data to examine changes in indicators related to downstream dietary and health outcomes that may be influenced by changes to the food environment. Information on relevant indicators, including prevalence and incidence of Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and diet-related cancers (breast, colorectal, pancreatic and prostate cancer), are collected.
