Description of study design:

The Riksmaten adolescent survey is a nationally representative, school-based, cross-sectional survey of pupils in grades 5 (aged 11-12 years), grade 8 (aged 14-15 years), and grade 2 high school (aged 17-18 years). The survey was conducted by the Swedish Food Agency in the school year 2016 and 2017 by the Swedish Food Agency. Diet was collected using a web-based 24-hour recall method on two non-consecutive days. This data contains estimations of the environmental impacts of the adolescents diets. The data is anonymised (the code list is deleted).
