Looking Past the Indian Calorie Debate: What is Happening to Nutrition Transition in India
利用1993-2012年印度全国住户数据，分析人均卡路里消费变化，发现疾病环境影响卡路里需求，且农村和城市贫困人口脂肪摄入持续上升，预示非传染性疾病风险增加。
We utilise large national household datasets for 1993–1994, 2004–2005 and 2011–2012 to analyse factors influencing changing patterns in per capita calorie consumption in India. Our study findings demonstrate the significance of the disease environment in which people live, with those living in healthy areas having lower calorie consumption than those living in less healthy ones. Calorie intake has been falling in India, but the study findings reveal that fat calorie intake has been rising successively over time among the rural and poorer urban sub-populations raising concerns for policy-makers that non-communicable diseases are expected to rise for these vulnerable population groups.
