EAT-Lancet Diet Adherence and Heart Failure Risk in UK Biobank Participants

120,849 UK Biobank participants with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome were followed for a median of 14.88 years to study diet and heart failure. The data shows a higher EAT-Lancet Diet Index score was associated with an 12% lower relative hazard of heart failure. This dataset, created by Peng Fu and shared under CC-BY-4.0, provides prospective cohort data linking a planetary health diet to clinical outcomes.

Use Cases

• Modeling heart failure risk based on adherence to the EAT-Lancet dietary index.
• Analyzing the association between specific food components, like red meat or nut intake, and cardiovascular outcomes.
• Conducting sensitivity and subgroup analyses on a large, prospective cohort dataset.

Strengths

• Includes data from 120,849 participants, providing a substantial sample size.
• Features a long median follow-up period of 14.88 years for longitudinal analysis.
• Dietary data was collected using a standardized 24-hour recall questionnaire.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the specific analysis table is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and demographic bias inherent to the UK Biobank cohort source.
