WEBINAR | Heart-healthy eating simplified
Poor diet is a leading risk factor of coronary heart disease, contributing to 50% of the total burden of heart disease. Furthermore, disease burden attributed to dietary risks is not distributed equally across Australia. The disease burden is twice as high in the lowest most disadvantaged group compared to the highest least advantaged group.
The most recent figures indicate that 95% of adults and 94% of children are not meeting the recommended intake of fruit and vegetables. This is contrasted with an increase in the consumption of discretionary food, accounting for over a third of kilojoule intake in Australian adults.
