“…Evidence from England and Wales suggests that the initial increase in the sex ratio of CVD in part resulted from increasing consumption of fat and sex differences in the resulting change in lipid profiles (14). A metaanalysis including 171 studies in the United States showed higher total fat consumption by males aged 18-65 from 1950 to 1985, including more energy derived from saturated fatty acids (23). Denmark experienced a progressive increase fat intake after 1900 with increasing saturated fats after 1920 (24), whereas in Norway fat intake increased from about 1880 to 1950, and then declined (25).…”

Using historical data from 1,763 birth cohorts from 1800 to 1935 in 13 developed countries, we show that what is now seen as normal—a large excess of female life expectancy in adulthood—is a demographic phenomenon that emerged among people born in the late 1800s. We show that excess adult male mortality is clearly rooted in specific age groups, 50–70, and that the sex asymmetry emerged in cohorts born after 1880 when male:female mortality ratios increased by as much as 50% from a baseline of about 1.1. Heart disease is the main condition associated with increased excess male mortality for those born after 1900. We further show that smoking-attributable deaths account for about 30% of excess male mortality at ages 50–70 for cohorts born in 1900–1935. However, after accounting for smoking, substantial excess male mortality at ages 50–70 remained, particularly from cardiovascular disease. The greater male vulnerability to cardiovascular conditions emerged with the reduction in infectious mortality and changes in health-related behaviors.

“…Also the energy percentage of fat is higher than that in a Western diet, while that of protein is lower (Bohlscheid-Thomas et al, 1997;Bingham et al, 1997;Riboli et al, 1997;Norris et al, 1997). However, several decades ago, when nutrition campaigns had not yet focused on lowering the total fat intake, the energy percentage of fat was similar to that seen in Cameroon nowadays (Stephen & Wald, 1990). Especially in urban Cameroon, the Western diet seems to in¯uence lifestyle, as more bread and fried products are eaten than in rural Cameroon.…”

Objective: To evaluate the habitual diet of a rural and urban population in Cameroon, Central Africa. Setting: An urban areaÐCite Â Verte Housing District, Yaounde Â (1058 subjects); and a rural areaÐthree villages in Evodoula, Cameroon (746 subjects). Subjects: Cameroonian men and women of African origin (1058 urban, and 746 rural), aged 24±74 y. Methods: The habitual diet was estimated with an interviewer-administered food frequency questionnaire. Main outcome measures: Macro-and micronutrient intake. Results: The intake of energy, fat and alcohol was higher in rural men and women than in urban subjects. In rural women, the intake of carbohydrates and protein was also higher. The intakes of ®bre, iron, carotene, zinc, potassium, and of the vitamins C, D and E were all higher in rural men and women than in their urban counterparts. The intake of retinol was lower in rural subjects than in urban subjects. Eight of the 10 foods eaten in the highest amount and contributing most to energy intake differed between the rural and urban population. Conclusion: The habitual diet in rural Cameroon contains more fat and alcohol than the diet in urban Cameroon. The high physical activity in the rural area may explain the lower levels of the cardiovascular risk factors in this area compared to those of the urban dwellers.

“…The observed decline in food energy intake by the US population is consistent with other dietary study results for a similar time period. 29 Procedural and other differences in how individual data points are derived over time, however, could also contribute to the observed food supply and survey intake trends. Ideally, for trend analyses, study populations should be defined identically, sampling procedures should be equivalent, and measurement procedures should be identical.…”

IntrodwtonThe monitoring of the US population's dietary intake and nutritional status received considerable attention in the last decade.1,2 In the next decade, nutrition monitoring will receive increased attention with the passage of the National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act of 1990.3 The estimation of trends in food and nutrient intake by US population groups, although not a measure of change in US population nutritional status per se, will continue to be a priority for several reasons. These data can be used to help (1) form national nutrition objectives and monitor progress toward their achievement-6; (2) form national nutrition policies and interventions; and (3) form and, to a lesser extent, test hypotheses about the relationship between diet and certain chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease7-10 and cancer.11-'5 Two types of data may be used to estimate trends over time in food and nutrient intake by the US population: (1) annual estimates of foods and nutrients available for consumption as measured from US food supply data (henceforth referred to as food supply estimates) and (2) periodic estimates offood and nutrient intake by individuals as measured from national food consumption surveys of individuals (henceforth referred to as survey intake estimates). Historically, the more frequent per capita food supply estimates, which are available from the turn of the century, have most often been used for this purpose.7-16The main objective ofthis studywas to examine whether trends in macronutrient levels of the food supply can be used as a
