Adherence
Increasing the price of specific foods like edible vegetable oil and pork can effectively reduce fat intake in the population, particularly among the poor.
Policymakers can use food pricing strategies to reduce fat intake. Increasing the price of edible oils and pork can lower fat consumption without harming protein intake for low-income groups.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
Increases in the price of pork, eggs and edible oils are shown to lower fat intake. Only increases in pork prices lead to reduced protein intake.
Why this rating
Based on longitudinal dietary data and regression analysis from CHNS.
