[Adherence to the 2015 Dutch dietary guidelines and risk of ten non-communicable diseases and mortality in the Rotterdam Study].
We aimed to evaluate the criterion validity of the 2015 food-based Dutch dietary guidelines, which were formulated based on evidence on the relation between diet and major chronic diseases. ⋯ Adherence to the Dutch dietary guidelines was associated with a lower mortality risk and a lower risk of developing some but not all of the chronic diseases on which the guidelines were based.
