Regional Variations in Carbohydrate Consumption in Czechoslovakia

K. OScaronANCOVÁ 1

1 From Institute of Human Nutrition, Prague, Czechoslovakia

Trends of carbohydrate and sugar consumption during postwar years in Czechoslovakia were analyzed with special attention to regional differences.

The most typical features of the observed changes are the declining consumption of cereals and the steep increase of sugar consumption particularly in the eastern regions of Czechoslovakia. Although in absolute figures Czechoslovakia still lags behind the sugar intakes of some highly industrialized countries, the rising trend which reached a plateau only quite recently aroused alarm.

Evidence of a statistically significant relationship was provided between regional differences in sugar consumption and the ratio of complex-to-simple carbohydrates on the one hand and morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease and to a certain extent also obesity on the other.
