“…According to a food frequency survey, conducted in Kazakhstan, fish consumption for fishermen was 103 g/day and 49 g/day for non-fisherman [68], corresponding to 721 and 343 g/week, respectively. These values are higher than the 123 g/week later reported for young adults in Kazakhstan (Table 3) [2]. Jia et al [3] reported the per capita consumption of fish in Kazakhstan of 9.59 kg (184 g/week).…”

“…This makes fish and seafood an exclusive source of EPA and DHA. However, only a small portion of the population in Central Asia consumes fish in accordance with the nutritional recommendations [2][3][4]. Interestingly, the European Society of Cardiology has classified Kazakhstan as a high-risk country for the development of cardiovascular diseases and Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan as very high-risk countries [5].…”

Toxic metals that are released into aquatic environments from natural and anthropogenic sources are absorbed by aquatic organisms and may threaten the health of both aquatic organisms and humans. Despite this, there have been limited studies on the metal concentrations in fish and humans in Central Asia. This study summarizes the presence of the toxic metals arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in aquatic bodies, fish, and seafood products and conducts a risk assessment. While certain areas show a notable increase in fish and seafood consumption, the overall intake in Central Asia remains below recommended levels. However, in regions with high fish consumption, there is a potential for elevated exposure to toxic metals, especially Hg. The risk of exposure to toxic metals in fish and seafood in Central Asia emerges as a significant concern. Comprehensive monitoring, regulation, and remediation efforts are imperative to ensure the safety of water sources and food consumption in the region. Public awareness campaigns and the establishment of dietary guidelines play a crucial role in minimizing the health risks associated with consumption.

“…Therefore, in the context of the Republic of Kazakhstan, no investigations have been conducted to explore the correlation between cultural dietary habits and COPD. Meat and dairy products hold signi cant importance in Kazakhstan, although there are indications that a high consumption of red and processed meat is linked to an increased risk of various non-communicable diseases and has adverse environmental effects [15]. The outcomes of a study conducted from 2018 to 2023 [15] have contributed to the limited knowledge regarding meat and sh consumption in Kazakhstan.…”

Background: Limited research has been conducted on the association between cultural food habits (CFH) and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and no studies have specifically investigated the long-term dietary impact on COPD risk in the Republic of Kazakhstan [1]. However, the prevalence of various non-communicable diseases, including COPD, is high in the country, and some of these diseases may be influenced by CFH. To better understand the relationship between CFH and non-communicable diseases, the Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of Kazakhstan has provided funding for research through grant number OR12165486, titled "National Programme for the Introduction of Personalized and Preventive Medicine in The Republic of Kazakhstan (2021–2023)" (Grant number OR12165486). The current case-control study is being conducted as part of this grant. Aim: We sought to investigate the association between long-term red meat consumption and risk of COPD. Methods: The case – control study primarily targeted the population of the Almaty Observational Cohort, comprising 609 men aged 30 to 85 years. These participants were monitored for analysis purposes between 2018 and 2023, with an average age of 51.2 years (95% CI 48.1–54.3). The assessment of unprocessed and processed red meat consumption was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire in both 2018 and 2023. Results: Among individuals with COPD, the predominant factors associated with the disease were the consumption of red meat more than 10 times per month (84.9%), a body mass index (BMI) over 25 (73.6%), the consumption of more than 100 grams of red meat per serving (62.3%), and the consumption of less than 100 grams of fresh fruits per serving (52.8%). In the control group, the primary factors were alcohol consumption in the past 12 months (69.2%), the consumption of red meat more than 10 times per month (62.9%), the consumption of more than 100 grams of red meat per serving (55.8%), and the consumption of fresh fruits less than 30 times per month (52.0%). Conclusion: The findings suggest that high consumption of red meat, low consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, and a preference for fatty foods may increase the risk of developing COPD among men in Kazakhstan. These results emphasize the importance of promoting balanced and healthy dietary habits to reduce the burden of COPD and improve public health.

“…However, there are notable gaps in our understanding of the specific dynamics of food consumption patterns, particularly within the framework of developing economies such as Kazakhstan. Studies on food consumption in Kazakhstan have predominantly concentrated on specific categories like livestock (Liang et al 2020;Akhmetova et al 2022) or fruits and vegetables (Abe et al 2013), with limited attention to overall food consumption. However, there is a lack of recent research, often missing detailed examinations of socioeconomic variables affecting food consumption, especially in the aftermath of geopolitical conflicts and economic shocks.…”

In modern times, the risk of food insecurity is a concern for policymakers at the global and national levels, as the issue of hunger and malnutrition still exists. Food security is vulnerable to any crises. The main goal of this paper is to create a neural-network-based predictive model to forecast food consumption trends in Kazakhstan, aiming to reduce the risk of food insecurity. The initial phase of this study involved identifying socioeconomic factors that significantly influence food consumption behaviors in Kazakhstan. Principal component analysis was used to identify key variables, which became the basis for modelling artificial neural networks. It was revealed that the poverty rate, GDP per capita, and food price index are pivotal determinants of food consumption in Kazakhstan. Two models were prepared: to predict food consumption on a national scale per capita per month, and to predict the percentage distribution of various food categories. The prediction of the percentage distribution of various food categories in Kazakhstan demonstrates the positive modelling quality indicators and strengthens the assumption that network modelling can be used. Predictions for total food consumption over the next three years indicate declining metrics, raising concerns about the potential food insecurity risk in Kazakhstan.
