Background and targets: In 2016, 40.5 million (71%) of the 56.9 million deaths worldwide were due to NCDs [1]. In the Caribbean, NCDs in 2010 outpaced those in North and South America [2]. Male death rate from NCDs is higher than female death rate [1,2]. This fact served as the basis for comparative studies on nutritional risk factors for NCDs in men in the Caribbean (CC) and Mediterranean (MC) countries. MC are a globally recognized reference for good nutrition and low incidence of NCDs [3].The impact of nutritional patterns on the burden of melanoma, multiple sclerosis, hypertensive heart disease and diabetes mellitus in men in the Mediterranean (MC) and Caribbean (CC) countries was researched.Methods: Data on the NCD (DALY) burden in men in MC and CC were obtained from [GBD 2004]. Information on food consumption levels in countries was obtained from FAO [FAO-HQfao.org] for 2003-05. U-Manna-Whitney and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze differences in nutrition structure and NCD burden in MC and CC. Using the U-Manna-Whitney Criterion, we evaluated the incidence of the most important NCDs in MC and CC. Regression analysis evaluated the impact of risk factors (independent variables) on DALY for 4 types of NCDs (dependent variables). The independent variables in the first stage of the analysis were 4 food structure fractions: animal products (AP); vegetables (CV); fruits (FS); and alcoholic beverages (AB). Dependent variables were the burden of melanoma, multiple sclerosis, hypertensive heart disease, and diabetes mellitus as the diseases with the highest frequency of 63 NCDs in MC and CC. In the second stage of regression analysis, predictions of the effect of increase on the of risk factors (independent variables) on DALY for 4 types of NCDs (dependent variables) were evaluated. Results:The total NCD burden in MC was 1.3 times lower than in CC (p = 0.006). Total daily food consumption (TDC) as well as animal products fraction (AP) in MC was 1.5 times higher than in CC (p = 0.0002). The share of CV (vegetables) in MC was 1.9 times higher than in CC (p = 0.001). The share of FS (fruits) in MC was 1.2 times higher than in CC (p = 0.3). The share of AB (alcohol) in MC was 2.5 times higher than in CC (p = 0.009).The burden of melanoma and multiple sclerosis in MC was 2 times higher than in CC (p = 0.002). In CC the burden of diabetes and hypertensive heart disease was 2.5 times higher (p = 0.001). In MC, there were 1.5-2 times higher than in CC: BMI (p = 0.03), blood cholesterol (p = 0.0002), and blood pressure (p = 0.002).As a result of multiple regression analysis, it was found that the nutrition structure fractions AP and AB, as well as GDP have the largest influence on the

“…We have shown that cardiovascular diseases depend on income and do not depend on geographic latitude [37]. And diabetes does not depend on income, but depends on geographic latitude [38]. In MC compared to CC the burden of melanoma is 3 times higher, and the burden of multiple sclerosis is 1.5 times higher.…”

“…The fact is that in every country in the world, including Mediterranean countries, there is a large number of diseases, more than 220 nosological forms. For example, the burden of cardiovascular diseases is higher, the lower per capita income in countries [56]. At the same time, the frequency of leukemia in countries is higher, the higher the per capita income, as our studies show.…”

Overweight and Obesity as the Risk Factors for Leukemia in the Mediterranean Countries

It is known, that in countries with high and medium incomes, the proportion of people with overweight and obesity started to increase in the second half of the 20 th century, as well as the incidence rate of Non-infectious Chronic Diseases (NCD). The study of risk factors for leukemia in the Mediterranean countries showed, that the incidence of leukemia for men was 2 times higher in countries with a higher Quality of Life (QOL); a higher percentage of men with overweight, obesity and hypercholesterolemia; a higher level of macronutrients, as on the whole as well as macronutrients of Animal Products (AP); a higher level of consumption of AP and Alcoholic Beverages (AB). Energy and proteins of animal products, beef and iron of animal origin, as well as hypercholesterolemia can determine more than 60% of the variability of the frequency of leukemia. At the same time, the level of total Energy does not significantly affect the incidence of leukemia. The ratio and origin of food and macronutrients have a greater effect on the incidence of leukemia than the absolute amounts of food and macronutrients in the nutritional structure.

Rationale: The literature recognizes a causal relationship between alcohol consumption and the burden of noncommunicable chronic disease (NCD). Objective: To investigate the relationship between the maximum and minimum consumption of alcoholic beverages (AB) and metabolic syndrome (MS), the burden of diabetes mellitus, pancreatic cancer, nephritis and alcoholism in 158 countries in 2004. Methods: U-Mann-Whitney test (UMY) and multiple linear regression analysis (MRA) were used for data analysis; GBD databases 2004; FAO 1990-2005. Results: Studies have shown that the maximum and minimum consumption of alcoholic beverages (AP) in the countries of the world differed 108 times and amounted to 343 grams per person per day, excluding gender and age (p≤0.001). The 20 countries with the highest AB versus the 20 countries with the lowest AB were 14 times higher per capita income (p≤0.001); the burden of pancreatic cancer is 3.5 times higher in men and women (p≤0.001); the burden of alcoholism is 8 times higher for men, 18 times for women (p≤0.001); 2 times in men, the burden of diabetes mellitus is 3 times lower in women and the burden of nephritis is 7 times lower in men and women (p≤0.001). In countries with maximum AB, the predictors of metabolic syndrome - MS (% of men and women in a country with MS impairment) were 2 times higher (p≤0.001). Conclusions: In countries with the highest AB consumption, the burden of alcoholism and pancreatic cancer is several times higher predictors of MS, but the burden of diabetes and nephritis is lower. Gender differences in the studied characteristics are noted. Further research is needed on the nature of the relationship between alcohol consumption and NCD to develop prevention methods.
