Abstract
The growing incidence of nutrient-related diseases is a global challenge. The aim of this work was to study consumption of staple food products and to estimate the incidence of nutrient-related diseases in Voronezh region. Food consumption was analyzed from the reports of the local branch of the Federal State Statistics collected over two 5-year periods (1995–1999 and 2012–2016). The incidence of nutrient-related diseases was estimated based on the reports providing information about patients’ visits to healthcare facilities. The districts of Voronezh region were assigned to 5 ranks. Over the studied periods, the population of Voronezh region considerably changed its diet: consumption of fish and seafood, fresh fruits, meat, vegetables, gourds and melons, eggs, vegetable oil, milk and dairy products per person increased significantly. At the same time, consumption of sugar, breads and potatoes still exceeds the recommended intake 1.42-2.04-fold, which means that the main component of the diet is carbohydrates. We observed a significant 4.5-fold increase in obesity incidence, a 1.8-2.0-fold increase in the incidence of anemia and endocrine disorders and a 1.2 increase in the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases. In terms of prevention measures, the priority should be given to areas at a high risk of nutrient-related diseases.
Highlights
The growing incidence of nutrient-related diseases is a global challenge
Reports on the consumption of different food products collected over two 5-year periods (1995–1999 and 2012–2016) were provided by the local branch of the Federal State Statistics and reflected quantitative and qualitative changes in the consumption of 10 staple food categories: breads; potatoes; vegetables, melons and gourds; fresh fruits; sugar; meat; seafood and fish; milk and dairy products; eggs; vegetable oil
Being an important source of vitamins and minerals, vegetables included in the population diet, such as cabbages, carrots, beetroot, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, courgettes, green salads, etc., constitute only 92% of the advised intake; fresh fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, and citrus fruits, make only 75% of the advised intake

Эрисмана, Мытищи 3 Центр гигиены и эпидемиологии в Воронежской области, Воронеж 4 Воронежский государственный аграрный университет имени Петра I, Воронеж. Целью исследования были изучение уровня потребления основных продуктов питания и оценка показателей алиментарнозависимых заболеваний населения Воронежской области. Баланс потребления продуктов питания изучали по данным территориального управления Росстата по Воронежской области за два пятилетних периода The results of data analysis and public health risk assessment are indicative of the growing incidence of nutrient-related diseases in some Russian regions, such as Samara. The risk of developing a nutrient-related disease is especially high in certain cohorts of the population and certain regions, as shown by focused research. A study that included over 3,000 people residing in the towns and villages of Central and East Kazakhstan has revealed insufficient energy content in their daily meals (12–19%), low intake of vitamins C, В1, В2, and niacin (47–73% of the recommended daily dose) and deficit of retinol and tocopherol (50%) [8]
