Life expectancy projections are based on epidemiological data from the University of Bergen (Food for Healthy Life) and the Global Burden of Disease study (Alcohol risks). Metabolic calculations use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. Activity multipliers are derived from Kansas State University guidelines (K-State PDF).

    Methodology & Sources:

    • Dietary Adherence: The scoring system is based on the Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) methodology established by Trichopoulou et al. (British Journal of Nutrition, 2000 & NEJM 2003).

    • Longevity Projections: The estimation of years added to your life is based on the "Food for Healthy Life" epidemiological research from the University of Bergen (PLOS Medicine, 2022).

    • Alcohol Risks: Recommendations regarding alcohol moderation and abstinence align with recent data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (The Lancet, 2018).

    • Metabolic Calculations: The calculator uses the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation to estimate Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), widely considered the most accurate standard for healthy adults. Activity multipliers are derived from Kansas State University guidelines (Physical Activity and Controlling Weight).

      • Men: BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) - 5 × age (y) + 5

      • Women: BMR = 10 × weight (kg) + 6.25 × height (cm) - 5 × age (y) - 161

    • Ideal Weight: Target weight calculations utilize the Lemmens Formula (BMI 22) to determine an optimal health baseline.

    • Demographic Data: Life expectancy baselines by country are provided by Worldometer.

    • Nutritional Guidelines: The weekly meal plans (1,500 / 2,000 / 2,500 kcal) are structured according to the 2014 LARN (Italian Reference Intake Levels) and the 2018 CREA Guidelines (Linee guida per una sana alimentazione).
