Why the study?

Diet and nutrition are modifiable drivers of cardiometabolic diseases, but the contemporary burden and future impact of diet-attributable cardiometabolic diseases in the United States remain incompletely characterized.

Population

United States population from Global Burden of Disease 2023

Comparison

Reference scenario vs counterfactual scenario assuming 1% annual decline in dietary risk exposure

Design

Comparative risk assessment framework and time-series forecasting study

Follow-up

Projections through 2045

Key result

Dietary risks accounted for more than 300,000 deaths and approximately 8 million DALYs from cardiometabolic diseases in the United States in 2023.

Dietary risks remain a major, modifiable driver of cardiometabolic disease burden in the US, accounting for over 300,000 deaths in 2023, with persistent geographic disparities.

Yao et al. (2026) conducted an observational in Cardiometabolic diseases. Dietary risks was evaluated on Deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of cardiometabolic diseases. Dietary risks accounted for more than 300,000 deaths and approximately 8 million DALYs from cardiometabolic diseases in the United States in 2023.
