Abstract

Objective: To study risk factors for the burden of NCD in European and Asia-Pacific countries in 2004.

Methods and results: Mann-Whitney U test.

36 European and 36 Asia-Pacific countries.

The research results showed that in European countries (Group 1) all Global NCD risk factors were statistically significantly (SR) higher than in Asia-Pacific countries (Group 2). Overweight, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, hypertension, high consumption of animal products, red meat, animal fats, of animal and total macronutrients and all types of alcoholic beverages was higher in group 1 countries compared to group 2 countries. But the total burden of NCDs in group 1 of CV countries did not differ from group 2.

In group 1 countries, 7 out of 13 cancers, the burden of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and suicide were CV in 2-3 times higher than in the 2nd group of countries. This is in line with the idea of NCD risk factors. However, in Group 1 countries, the burden of Type 2 Diabetes, Endocrine Diseases, Depression, Sensory Organ Diseases, Respiratory, Cardiovascular and Digestive Diseases was 1.5-2.5 times lower, which does not correspond to literature data.

Conclusions: Thus, European countries with high NCD risk factors are more successful than Asia-Pacific countries in coping with the burden of NCDs, probably due to high quality of life, health and environmental safety.
