abstract = {Food biodiversity, encompassing the variety of plants,
animals, and other organisms consumed as food and drink, has
intrinsic potential to underpin diverse, nutritious diets
and improve Earth system resilience. Dietary species
richness (DSR), which is recommended as a crosscutting
measure of food biodiversity, has been positively associated
with the micronutrient adequacy of diets in women and young
children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
However, the relationships between DSR and major health
outcomes have yet to be assessed in any population.We
examined the associations between DSR and subsequent total
and cause-specific mortality among 451,390 adults enrolled
in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and
Nutrition (EPIC) study (1992 to 2014, median follow-up: 17
years), free of cancer, diabetes, heart attack, or stroke at
baseline. Usual dietary intakes were assessed at recruitment
with country-specific dietary questionnaires (DQs). DSR of
an individual's yearly diet was calculated based on the
absolute number of unique biological species in each
(composite) food and drink. Associations were assessed by
fitting multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards
regression models. In the EPIC cohort, 2 crops (common wheat
and potato) and 2 animal species (cow and pig) accounted for
approximately $45\%$ of self-reported total dietary energy
intake [median (P10-P90): 68 (40 to 83) species consumed per
year]. Overall, higher DSR was inversely associated with
all-cause mortality rate. Hazard ratios (HRs) and $95\%$
confidence intervals (CIs) comparing total mortality in the
second, third, fourth, and fifth (highest) quintiles (Qs) of
DSR to the first (lowest) Q indicate significant inverse
associations, after stratification by sex, age, and study
center and adjustment for smoking status, educational level,
marital status, physical activity, alcohol intake, and total
energy intake, Mediterranean diet score, red and processed
meat intake, and fiber intake [HR $(95\%$ CI): 0.91 (0.88 to
0.94), 0.80 (0.76 to 0.83), 0.69 (0.66 to 0.72), and 0.63
(0.59 to 0.66), respectively; PWald < 0.001 for trend].
Absolute death rates among participants in the highest and
lowest fifth of DSR were 65.4 and 69.3 cases/10,000
person-years, respectively. Significant inverse associations
were also observed between DSR and deaths due to cancer,
heart disease, digestive disease, and respiratory disease.
An important study limitation is that our findings were
based on an observational cohort using self-reported dietary
data obtained through single baseline food frequency
questionnaires (FFQs); thus, exposure misclassification and
residual confounding cannot be ruled out.In this large
Pan-European cohort, higher DSR was inversely associated
with total and cause-specific mortality, independent of
sociodemographic, lifestyle, and other known dietary risk
factors. Our findings support the potential of food
(species) biodiversity as a guiding principle of sustainable
dietary recommendations and food-based dietary guidelines.},
