“…In conclusion, TJDS is an indicator of the association between Japanese diet and health events [16, [25][26][27][28]. In addition, TJDS was negatively related to land use, GHG emissions, Acidifying emissions, and stress-weighted Water use.…”

“…The total score ranges from − 9 to 9; higher scores meaning greater adherence to a traditional Japanese diet. We have previously reported associations between the TJDS and several diseases [25][26][27][28]. However, after closely examining the food supply of each country in FAOSTAT, we modi ed the TJDS from nine to eight, excluding seaweed.…”

“…We have also developed the Traditional Japanese Diet Score (TJDS) and reported in a global ecological study that Japanese diet is associated with reducing obesity, incidence of ischaemic heart disease, and extending healthy life expectancy [25]. Subsequently, we reported that TJDS contributed to breast cancer prevention [26] and lowered all-cause mortality [27], and Suicide Prevention [28].…”

Background: Reducing the environmental impact of the food supply is important for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide. We developed the Traditional Japanese Diet Score (TJDS) and reported in a global ecological study that Japanese diet is associated with reducing obesity and extending healthy life expectancy etc. We then examined the relationship between the TJDS and environmental indicators. Methods: Average food (g/day/capita) and energy supplies (kcal/day/capita) by country were obtained from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Statistics Division database. The TJDS was calculated from eight food groups (beneficial food components in the Japanese diet: rice, fish, soybeans, vegetables, and eggs; food components that are relatively unused in the traditional Japanese diet: wheat, milk, and red meat) by country using tertiles, and calculated the total score from -8 to 8, with higher scores means greater adherence to the TJDS. We used Land Use (m2), Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 2007/2013 (kg CO2eq), Acidifying emissions (g SO2eq), Eutrophying emissions (g PO43- eq), Freshwater (L),, and water use (L) per food weight by Poore et al. as environmental indicators and multiplied these indicators by each country’s average food supply. We evaluated cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between the TJDS and environmental indicators from 2010 to 2020. This study included 151 countries with populations ≥ 1 million. Results: Land Use (β ± standard error; -0.623 ± 0.161, p<0.001), GHG 2007 (-0.149 ± 0.057, p<0.05), GHG 2013 (-0.183 ± 0.066, p<0.01), Acidifying (-1.111 ± 0.369, p<0.01), and Water use (-405.903 ± 101.416, p<0.001) were negatively associated with TJDS, and Freshwater (45.116 ± 7.866, p<0.001) was positively associated with TJDS after controlling for energy supply and latitude in 2010. In the longitudinal analysis, Land Use (β ± standard error; -0.116 ± 0.027, p<0.001), GHG 2007 (-0.040 ± 0.010, p<0.001), GHG 2013 (-0.048 ± 0.011, p<0.001), Acidifying (-0.280 ± 0.064, p<0.001), Eutrophying (-0.132 ± 0.062, p<0.05), and Water use (-118.246 ± 22.826, p<0.001) were negatively associated with TJDS after controlling for confounders. Conclusions: This ecological study suggests that the traditional Japanese dietary pattern might improve SDGs except Fresh water.
