COMPARISON OF NUTRITION BEHAVIOR IN RUSSIA AND ESTONIA

Objective. Difference in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) prevalence between Russia and European Union may be caused by life style risk factors. Long period of common history and close geographic position allows to compare the nutrition behavior in North-West region of Russia and Estonia. Design and methods. As a part of collaborative study between Almazov FMRC and DIfE (IDAMES project), 131 inhabitants from St. Petersburg and 70 from Estonia randomly selected 18-65 y/o were interviewed by European food propensity questionnaire (EPFQ), translated and adapted to Russian and Estonian languages. It contained questions about frequency of main food groups consumption during last year. Informed consent and data regarding smoking status and anthropometry (height, weight with body mass index (BMI) calculation) were obtained from all participants. Results. Between Russia and Estonia no difference in smoking status and BMI were revealed (28,57 % and 24,81 % of current smokers; 26,32 kg/m² and 26,28 kg/m² for BMI respectively). Estonians take meat 2 times more frequent compared to Russian inhabitants. Estonian women consume 1,5 times more bread and fish than Russian, drink 2 to 5 times more alcohol. Russian men take more fruits and vegetables, 5 times more strong drinks, but 2 time less beer compared to Estonian men. Consumption levels of milk, semi-processed products, eggs, rice, pasta and sweets were comparable between groups. conclusion. Obtained data show differs in Estonia and in St. Petersburg eating behavior in spite of close geographical position and common history as well as comparable prevalence of smoking and obesity. Estonians have higher meat intake. Gender analysis surprisingly showed that Estonian females take more alcohol than Russian females. Russian males keep superiority in strong drinks consumption but have better level of fruits/vegetable intake and drink less beer.
