Abstract

Objective: To study risk factors for the burden of cancer in Muslim and Christian countries in 2004.

Methods and Results: Mann-Whitney U test. 33 Muslim countries and 33 Christian countries were matched with the same Economic-Geographical position.

The "quality of life" for Muslims and Christians did not have a statistical difference. Muslims had 2 times less than Christians the burden of Esophageal, Melanoma, Breast and Prostate cancer (p ≤ 0.022) and 3 times less than the burden of Alcoholism. But Muslims had a 1.4 times higher burden of Bladder cancer and Lymphoma than Christians (p ≤ 0.023).

The burden of the remaining 8 types of cancer was not statistically significantly different between Muslims and Christians. It was established that Muslims and Christians chose different food products from the same daily set of products in terms of volume and composition (Medians: 1185 and 1064 g/person/day, 45 types). So, Muslims consumed 2 times less Christian Pigmeat, 3 times less Fats Animals, Maize, Beans, Beverages, Alcoholic, Wine, 6 times less Beer.

But Muslims consumed 3-4 times more than Christians Mutton and Goat Meat, Wheat, Nuts, Onions, Vegetables and 1.4 times the total amount of Grains and legumes. For the remaining 30 types of products, the daily consumption of Muslims and Christians did not differ statistically significantly. It has been established that the intake of macronutrients of animal origin (Energy, Proteins and Fats) in 1990 and 2005 for Muslims was 33% lower than for Christians (p ≤ 0.024). At the same time, Total Energy and its percentage composition (Carbohydrates, Proteins and Fats) did not have statistically significant differences between Muslims and Christians in 1990 and 2005.

Conclusions: The results suggest differences in cancer burden risk factors between Muslims and Christians and suggest a continuation of the study.
