Causes of death across
Austria are changing
due to Population Increase, Life Expectancy rise and Living Standard
.On this below article we provide graphical
represntation of major causes of death in
Austria.
Highlights of Austria BMI and Diet Compositions
Comprehensive data on food supply and consumption
is published by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Data
was analyzed by The Global Graph and
is published in these below Highlights, Graphs and Tables (Data Quality &
Definations)
- As per United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), average person in Austria gets their caloric supply from :
- Carbohydrates : 56.70%56.70%
- Fat : 48.07%48.07%
- Animal protein : 7.88%7.88%
- Plant protein : 5.43%5.43%
- 18.08% increase in caloric supply : Currently Austria gets 3768/kilocalories per person per day worth of caloric supply when compared to 3191/kilocalories per person per day in Year 1961
- Oils & Fats, Cereals & Grains and Sugar are three major diet compositions in Austria
- Wheat, Maize and Rye are three major Cereal preferences in Austria
- National and World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations on vegitable intake is to range between 200-250g per day and in Austria average intake is 284.19 grams
- Apples, Oranges & Mandarines and Bananas are three major Fruit Types Intake in Austria

Breakdown of the average per capita intake of cereals by specific cereal-based commodity types, measured in kilocalories per person per day. This figure measures the primary equivalent of all food products derived from a given commodity (e.g. "wheat" represents the primary equivalent of its derived products). Data refers to cereal food supply at the consumer level but does not account for consumer wastage in
Cereal Preferences in Austria
