[Changes in dietary pattern and certain nutrition-related diseases in urban and rural residents of Jiangsu province in 1990s].
A study on the relations of dietary pattern and mortality of some chronic diseases in urban and rural residents of Jiangsu Province in the past decade was made on the basis of the results of food consumption survey and disease surveillance. The results showed that food consumption and dietary pattern changed remarkably during the 1990s. Grain consumption was decreased, but the consumption of animal food was markedly increased. Though the score of desirable dietary pattern(DDP) in urban residents was more than 90, the deducted scores owing to over-consumption of animal food were increased. The mortality form infectious diseases was evidently decreased. While the death rates of some chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, colorectal cancer and breast cancer was increased rapidly in the urban residents. Sufficient attention should be paid to the negative effects of the change of dietary pattern on the health, especially of urban residents.
