FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO) developed a joint report on diet to address the increasing problem of chronic diseases worldwide and develop a strategy to combat the problem.

The report contains scientific evidence on the relationship of diet, nutrition and physical activity to chronic diseases and examines cardiovascular diseases, several forms of cancer, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis and dental disease.
