  1. DHD15-index, Dutch Healthy Diet Index 15; NRD9.3, Nutrient Rich Diet score 9.3; GHGE, greenhouse gas emissions; FE, fossil energy use; LU, land use; pReCiPe, a weighted summary score for GHGE, FE, and LU. De-attenuated 24hR-values estimated using the method of Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) to correct for random error. Calibrated FFQ values calculated as the predicted values from a mixed model with FFQ-values, age, gender and BMI as covariates, accounting for random effects
  2. a Regression coefficients represent the percentage change in diet score per unit increase in diet-related environmental impact, and are adjusted for energy intake (continuous and using estimates as measured by that method of dietary assessment), age (continuous), gender (men/women), and BMI (continuous)
