How prices and income influence global patterns in saturated fat intake by age, sex and world region: a cross-sectional analysis of 160 countries
Objective: When considering proposals to improve diets, it is important to understand how factors like price and income can affect saturated fat (SF) intake and demand. In this study, we examine and estimate the influence of price and income on intake across 160 countries, by age and sex, and derive sensitivity measures (price elasticities) that vary by age, sex and world region.
Global Improvement in Dietary Quality Could Lead to Substantial Reduction in Premature Death
Abstract
Background: The preventable premature mortality achievable by improvement in dietary quality at a global level is unclear.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess dietary quality globally, and to quantify the potential global impact of improving dietary quality on population health.
Global patterns in price elasticities of sugar-sweetened beverage intake and potential effectiveness of tax policy: a cross-sectional study of 164 countries by sex, age and global-income decile
Abstract
Objective: To quantify global relationships between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake and prices and examine the potential effectiveness of tax policy.
Design: SSB intake data by country, age and sex from the Global Dietary Database were combined with gross domestic product and price data from the World Bank. Intake responsiveness to income and prices was estimated accounting for national income, age and sex differences.
Setting: 164 countries.
