“…colorectal cancer along with the increasing prevalence of obesity in recent years (26,27). In contrast to the situation in long-standing economically developed countries, colorectal cancer incidence rates increased in economically transitioning countries, especially those that were once part of the Soviet Union and the Eastern European Communist Bloc such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Estonia.…”

“…If the Western people could switch to the Mediterranean diet, some cancers would be decreased (Trichopoulou et al, 2000). The increased colorectal cancer incidence rates in some countries in Asia, Eastern Europe and Spain are associated with changes in dietary and lifestyle factors (Garcia-Alvarez et al, 2007;de Kok et al, 2008;Martin et al, 2008;Center et al, 2009a;2009b).…”

Background: Variation in cancer incidence in geographical locations is due to different lifestyles and risk factors. Diet and socio-economic position (SEP) have been identified as important for the etiology of cancer but patterns are changing and inconsistent. The aim of this study was to investigate correlations of the incidence of common cancers with food groups, total energy, smoking, and SEP. Materials and Methods: In an ecological study, disaggregated cancer data through the National Cancer Registry in Iran (2008) and dietary intake, smoking habits and SEP obtained through a population based survey within the Urban Health Equity Assessment (Urban-HEART) project were correlated across 22 districts of Tehran. Results: Consumption of fruit, meat and dairy products adjusted for energy were positively correlated with bladder, colorectal, prostate and breast and total cancers in men and women, while these cancers were adversely correlated with bread and fat intake. Also prostate, breast, colorectal, bladder and ovarian cancers had a positive correlation with SEP; there was no correlation between SEP and skin cancer in both genders and stomach cancer in men. Conclusions: The incidence of cancer was higher in some regions of Tehran which appeared to be mainly determined by SEP rather than dietary intake. Further individual data are required to investigate reasons of cancer clustering.

“…The increase in the incidence rates in several Asian and Eastern European countries and Spain is thought to reflect changes in dietary and lifestyle factors associated with westernization, including smoking and obesity (8,(34)(35)(36)(37). For example, in some Eastern European countries such as the Czech Republic, nearly 60% of men are current cigarette smokers (3) and more than 25% of adults are obese (38).…”

While incidence and mortality rates for most cancers (including lung, colorectum, female breast, and prostate) are decreasing in the United States and many other western countries, they are increasing in several less developed and economically transitioning countries because of adoption of unhealthy western lifestyles such as smoking and physical inactivity and consumption of calorie-dense food. Indeed, the rates for lung and colon cancers in a few of these countries have already surpassed those in the United States and other western countries. Most developing countries also continue to be disproportionately affected by cancers related to infectious agents, such as cervix, liver, and stomach cancers. The proportion of new cancer cases diagnosed in less developed countries is projected to increase from about 56% of the world total in 2008 to more than 60% in 2030 because of the increasing trends in cancer rates and expected increases in life expectancy and growth of the population. In this review, we describe these changing global incidence and mortality patterns for select common cancers and the opportunities for cancer prevention in developing countries.

Trends in childhood and adolescent obesity prevalence in Oviedo (Asturias, Spain) 1992–2006

Abstract: Obesity and overweight are increasing in children and adolescents in Oviedo at a level similar to that observed in studies conducted in developed countries. This obesity epidemic is becoming an important public health issue.
