procedureThe 'Diet-Related Morbidity/Mortality Statistics' indicator uses two primary parameters: (1) the prevalence of individuals with physician-diagnosed obesity, cardiovascular diseases (CHD, stroke, hypertension), type II diabetes, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and obesity-related cancers; and (2) disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) as a measure of disease burden associated with nutrition-related factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol (total and LDL), and high blood sugar (insulin resistance/diabetes).

procedureThe research team developed 10 categories for health outcomes: cancer; cardiovascular diseases; mortality, number of deaths averted, or years of life saved (non-specific disease); type 2 diabetes; stroke; disability-adjusted life year (DALY) (non-specific disease); weight, overweight, or obesity; composite health indicators; quality-adjusted life year (QALY) or quality of life (QOL) related to non-specific diseases; or other.
