Populærvitenskapelig sammendrag av avhandlingen/ Summary of the thesis

Noncommunicable diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular diseases, are major causes of death in Norway. Norway has set targets to reduce premature deaths from these diseases and to meet Sustainable Development Goals aimed at protecting the environment and climate. Emphasizing the adoption of regional diets that utilize local foods is a key strategy in this initiative.
This thesis explored how closely Norwegian women adhere to the healthy Nordic diet and the association between healthy Nordic food groups and mortality. The results indicated that a higher consumption of whole grain products, lean fish, and moderate amounts of Nordic fruits and vegetables could increase longevity among Norwegian women. Additionally, replacing processed meat with lean fish could reduce mortality for those who typically consume processed meat.
