globalisation Flashcards
Globalization
Globalization describes the process by which regional
economies, societies, & cultures have become integrated
through a global network of communication,
transportation, and trade.
a historical process, the result of human innovation &
technological progress. is it new?
is ……………….development, its ………. has increased with
the advent of new technologies, especially in the area of
telecommunications
nutrrition related non communicable diseases -chronic diseases
diabetes, cancer osteoporosis,
Globalization &
its impacts on nutrition pattern
Changes in the world food economy due to
globalization: shifting nutrition patterns.
Improved standards of living & ↑ access to
services, consequences?
significant negative consequences: inappropriate
dietary patterns, ↓ physical activities, & ↑ in
nutrition related non-communicable diseases
What is Nutrition Transition?
Two historic processes of change occur to or
precede the Nutrition Transition
Demographic transition
Epidemiologic transition
Demographic transition: function of time &
socioeconomic development
Demographic Transition
The shift from the pattern of ↑ fertility &↑ mortality to one of ↓ fertility & ↓ mortality Stage I : Preindusterial Stage II: Transitional Stage III: industrial Stage IV: post industrial
Demographic Transition
Focus on healthy aging
High Fertility/Mortality Rate
Reduced Mortality, Changing age Structure
Focus on Family Planning,
Infectious diseases control
Reduction fertility, ageing Chronic Diseases Predominance
Epidemiologic Transition
Shift: ↑prevalence of infectious diseases associated with
malnutrition, & periodic famine & poor environmental sanitation
to a pattern of ↑ prevalence of chronic & degenerative diseases
Stage 1: Pestilence & famine
Stage 2: Receding pandemics
Stage 3: Degenerative & man-made diseases
Stage 4: Age of delayed degenerative diseases
Epidemiologic Transition Focus on healthy aging Focus on medical intervention, policy Initiatives, and behavioral change High Prevalence Infectious diseases Receding Pestilence, poor environmental conditions Focus on Family Planning, Infectious diseases control Focus on famine Alleviation/prevention Chronic Diseases Predominance
Nutrition Transition
The shifts in the way we eat and move & subsequent effects on our body composition over the history of man
In the last 20–30 years, the world has reduced its water intake, shifted towards sugar-sweetened beverages, increased its proportion of food that is sweetened and ultra processed and reduced its intake of many health
components of our diet, including legumes, fruits and vegetables
Nutrition Transition Focus on medical intervention, policy initiatives, and behavioral change High prevalence under nutrition Nutrition-related non-communicable Diseases predominance Receding Famine Focus on famine Alleviation/ prevention
Nutrition Patterns
- Collecting food (hunter gatherers), Paleolithic man
- Settlements begin/Monoculture period/ Famine emerges
- Industrialization/Receding Famine
- Nutrition related non-communicable diseases (NR-NCD)
- ……………………….
Eating habits
Aboriginals vs. Non aboriginals
Aboriginal 19 to 30 year-old women consume:
More energy from food between meals (snacks)
More snacks from the other food category (63% of snacks
calories vs43% of snacks calories)
Energy from snacks also different.for 31 to 50 year-old
women
no differences in men
Regular soft drinks: the main source of calories from the
“other food” category:
Aboriginal men & women aged 31 to 50 drink more regular soft
drinks
Aboriginal women aged 19 to 30 years
• Consumed more reg. soft drinks the day prior to the interview
(62% vs 26%)
• Consumed 450 g. per day on average to 139 g. per day on
average for for non aboriginal women.in same age group
Overweight/ Obesity
Overweight & obesity rates higher in off reserve
aboriginal people than in non-aboriginal people
– Significant differences in women
– Bigger impact of inactivity in aboriginal people
– Level of education plays a different role
Emerging public health issues with crisis proportions
within the First Nation population . . .
- Nutritional Status, physical inactivity & related diseases
2.Cancers: in particular lung & reproductive - Sexual health
- Substance abuse
- Mental Health
- Injuries “leading cause of death first half of First Nations life”
- Community Violence
- Problem gambling
- Infectious Diseases
- Environmental issues: clean water, healthy housing, safe food sources
& exposure to environmental contaminants”
Stages of Nutrition Transition
3 4 5
Urbanization, economic growth, technological changes for work, leisure, and food processing, globalization of mass media MCH deficiencies, Weaning disease, stunting Patten 3 Industrialization Receding Famine •Starchy, low variety, low fat, high fiber •Labor-intensive work Slow mortality decline Pattern 4 Non-communicable diseases •Increases fat, sugar, Processed foods •Shift in technology of Work & leisure Obesity emerges, Bone density problems Pattern 5 Behavioral Change •Reduced fat, increased fruit, veg, fiber •Replace sedentariansim with purposeful changes in recreation. Reduced body fatness, Improved bone health S
A 100,000(S) of generations: ……………………….. 50 generations: depended on agriculture 10 generation: …………………………… Only two generations: grown up with highly processed fast foods & high intake of energy from beverages The problem is: our genes don’t know it. They are programming us today in much the same way they have been programming humans for at least 40,000 years

Globalization and Nutrition Transition
Nutrition Transition in developed countries
The standard of living of most people: ↑considerably
during the last two generations
Change from insufficiency to sufficiency to a great variety
of food, Western diet
Figures on the prevalence of excess weight in US and
Canada
57%of Canadian young people: so sedentary,
harming their health
Eating pattern shifts that accompany
the nutrition transition
In higher-income, Developed countries
increased portion sizes,
away from home food intake,
Snacking
High intake of energy from …………… (%17-25)
Nutrition Transition in Developing Countries
Double burden of disease
infection diseases remain the major unresolved health
problems
Emerging non-communicable diseases relating to diet
and lifestyle have been increasing over the last two
decades
Prevalence for type 2 diabetes mellitus & CVD:
In sub-Saharan Africa have seen a 10 fold increase increase in
the last 20 years.
In Persian Gulf current rates are between 25 to 35% for
the adult population, while evidence of the metabolic
syndrome is emerging in children and adolescents.
accelerated nutrition transition
in developing country is worse becasue happening faster with less health care and no regulation
Nutrition Transition in developing countries
rapid shifts in dietary, activity & body
composition
The joint presence of under-nutrition & overweight
The politics: different
