The last few decades of the last century greatly increased our knowledge
about the global dimensions of the
noncommunicable diseases (NCD)
including cardiovascular diseases
(CVDs), diabetes and cancer. Recent
studies indicate that there is
coexistence of nutritional
deficiencies and appreciable
overnutrition in the form of central
obesity and overweight in developing
countries and in developed countries
one quarter of the population is
obese. The Global Burden of Disease
Study clearly showed that the
gratifying gains in cardiovascular
health occurred in developed
countries, in association with an
epidemic of CVD in the developing
world. We proposed that overweight
comes first in conjunction with
inflammation, hyperinsulinemia,
increased angiotensin activity,
vascular variability disorders and
central obesity followed by glucose
intolerance, type 2 diabetes,
hypertension, low HDL and
hypertriglyceridemia (Metabolic
syndrome).This sequence is followed
by CAD, gall stones and cancers and
finally dental caries,
gastrointestinal diseases, bone and
joint diseases, degenerative
diseases of the brain and
psychological disorders, during
transition from poverty to
affluence. As people become rich,
they begin to increase their intake
of proinflammatory refined foods;
dietary fat, salt and sugar intake
in the form of ready prepared foods,
syrups, dairy products and flesh
foods in place of grain based diet.
There is a greater use of
automobiles, television vewing and
decrease in sports, walking and
dancing as recreation which also
enhances the inflammation,
dyslipidemia and obesity. These
changes in the diet and lifestyle in
conjunction with mental strain, and
increase in tobacco and alcohol
intake, appear to be primary risk
factors in the pathogenesis of
inflammation and dyslipidemia
leading to NCDs. These problems may
be associated with high w-6/w-3
fatty acid ratio status in the body
tissues which may have adverse
effects on mind-body connection
leading to degenerative diseases of
the brain, psychological disorders,
apart from CVDs
