KPMG Modelling Study
Estimate percent reductions in risk of CVD and cancer based on intake increase.
KPMG is a global professional services firm commissioned by the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council to assess the economic impact of increased nut consumption. Using an evidence-based methodology, KPMG evaluated potential healthcare cost savings and broader economic benefits linked to improved public health outcomes.
KPMG’s analysis consisted of the following steps:
1
Estimate current per capita consumption vs. target intake (30 g/day).
2
Estimate percent reductions in risk of CVD and cancer based on intake increase.
3
Calculate savings in direct, indirect, and informal healthcare costs.
Methodology Overview
1
Consumption Gap
Current vs. Target Intake
- Current per capita nut consumption
- Target level: 30 g/day
2
Risk Reduction Estimates
Health Impact of Increased Intake
- Estimated % reduction in CVD risk
- Estimated % reduction in cancer risk
- Based on scientific literature linking nut intake to disease prevention
3
Cost Impact Assessment
Healthcare Costs
- National annual healthcare expenditures for CVD and cancer
- Model estimates potential cost savings from reduced disease incidence
