  2. - indicates no established relationship between the dietary factor and the disease
  3. aSingle weighted average of GBD 2017 RRs for dietary risk factors per 5-year intervals, taking into account the Swedish population structure in 2011, and inverted to create RRs for a positive change in diet.
