How does Luxembourg's diet differ from the world average?
The butterfly chart above shows the difference in food supply composition between Luxembourg and the global average. Bars extending to the right indicate food groups where Luxembourg consumes more than the world average, while bars extending left show deficits. These differences reflect agricultural production, cultural food traditions, income levels, and trade patterns.
What are dietary risk factors?
Dietary risk factors are eating patterns linked to chronic disease and premature death, as modeled by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. The five major dietary risks are: high sodium intake, low fruit intake, low vegetable intake, low whole grain intake, and low nut and seed intake. These are population-level statistical estimates — not direct counts of individual deaths.
