Traditional Eastern European diet and mortality: prospective evidence from the HAPIEE study

Abstract: Purpose Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer mortality rates in Eastern Europe are among the highest in the world. Although diet is an important risk factor, traditional eating habits in this region have not yet been explored.

“…Highly processed foods (commercially prepared, which require no or minimal domestic preparation) comprised more than 70% of the mean energy intake in the region [ 35 ]. Consumption of processed meat is a traditional part of the Eastern European diet [ 34 ]. Despite of the relatively small population, in 2018, Czechia placed 14th place in regard to the production of processed meat in the world, with 14,000 tons produced annually [ 36 ].…”

The median (IQR) follow-up time in the analytical sample was 11 (4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) years.…”

“…astern European countries have the highest dietary cholesterol intake globally, and they are also among the world leaders for saturated fat consumption. 1 Traditionally meat-rich diet and the popularity of using animal fats for cooking in Eastern European cuisine [2][3][4] are likely to be responsible for this observation, and animal fats may also contribute to the poor population health and high cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality rates of the region. 5 However, dietary habits are changing, and cooking with vegetable oils has become more common in recent decades.…”
