Abstract：
In order to tackle the global increase in overweight and obesity prevalence, several nutrient profiling systems have been developed; among others, Food Compass Score (FCS) has been designed to encompass multiple domains of food healthfulness. However, environmental sustainability of healthy diets is another crucial dimension which should not be overlooked in the context of human health. The aim of the present study is to assess the association between healthiness and environmental sustainability of food items, using the FCS and Agribalyse databases, respectively. A total of 806 matching food items were identified, grouped in 12 food categories; within each category, differences in median Z-scores between FCS and Single Environmental Footprint (EF) Score were assessed. While Fruits, Legumes and Nuts, Mixed foods, Meat Poultry and Eggs (MPE), Savory and Sweets, and Vegetables showed statistically significant differences (all p < 0.001), Beverages (p = 0.361), Dairy (p = 0.092), Fats and Oils (p = 0.594), Grains (p = 0.436), Sauce and Condiments (p = 0.093), and Seafood (p = 0.241) had similar Food Compass and Single EF Z-scores distributions. These findings underscore a relevant lack of difference between healthfulness and environmental impact of some prominent food categories, such as Grains and Seafood. Therefore, we suggest matching nutrient profiling systems with adequate environmental sustainability indices.
摘要：
为了应对全球超重和肥胖患病率的增加，已经开发了几种营养分析系统；其中，FoodCompassScore（FCS）旨在涵盖食品健康的多个领域。然而,健康饮食的环境可持续性是人类健康背景下不应忽视的另一个重要方面。本研究的目的是评估食品的健康与环境可持续性之间的关系，使用FCS和Agribalyse数据库，分别。共鉴定出806份相配的食物,分为12个食物类别；在每个类别中，评估了FCS和单一环境足迹(EF)评分之间的中位Z评分差异.虽然水果，豆类和坚果,混合食品,禽肉和鸡蛋（MPE），咸味和甜食，和蔬菜显示出统计学上的显着差异（所有p<0.001），饮料（p=0.361），乳制品（p=0.092），脂肪和油（p=0.594），谷物（p=0.436），酱汁和调味品（p=0.093），海鲜(p=0.241)具有相似的食物罗盘和单EFZ分数分布。这些发现强调了一些突出食品类别的健康和环境影响之间缺乏相关差异，如谷物和海鲜。因此,我们建议将营养分析系统与适当的环境可持续性指数相匹配。
