Adherence to healthy dietary patterns can prevent the development of non-communicable diseases and affect life expectancy. Here, using a prospective population-based cohort data from the UK Biobank, we show that sustained dietary change from unhealthy dietary patterns to the Eatwell Guide dietary recommendations is associated with 8.9 and 8.6 years gain in life expectancy for 40-year-old males and females, respectively. In the same population, sustained dietary change from unhealthy to longevity-associated dietary patterns is associated with 10.8 and 10.4 years gain in life expectancy in males and females, respectively. The largest gains are obtained from consuming more whole grains, nuts and fruits and less sugar-sweetened beverages and processed meats. Understanding the contribution of sustained dietary changes to life expectancy can provide guidance for the development of health policies.
坚持健康的饮食模式可以预防非传染性疾病并影响预期寿命。在这里，我们使用来自英国生物银行的前瞻性基于人群的队列数据表明，从不健康的饮食模式持续转变为“Eatwell 指南”饮食建议分别与 40 岁男性和女性的预期寿命延长 8.9 年和 8.6 年相关。在同一人群中，从不健康饮食模式持续转变为与长寿相关的饮食模式与男性和女性的预期寿命分别延长 10.8 年和 10.4 年相关。最大的收益来自于更多地食用全谷物、坚果和水果，以及更少地食用含糖饮料和加工肉类。了解持续饮食变化对预期寿命的贡献可为制定健康政策提供指导。
