Diets high in trans fatty acids - Disability-Adjusted Life Years rate map

Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs)/100 000 attributable to diets high in trans fatty acids in EU Member States (2023) map

Source: data are based on the Global Burden of Disease Study (2023) results.

The data refer to DALYs from all causes, for both sexes in all ages. Diet high in TFA is defined in the relevant paragraph of the brief. Please note these are summary measures. Differences between countries could be affected by different age structure of populations.

Note trans fat intake is assumed to be zero in Member states with gold-standard trans fat policy bans. See https://www.thelancet.com/cms/10.1016/S0140-6736(25)01637-X/attachment/7286af00-12ae-445b-b6c2-57984f8c67f4/mmc2.pdf
