Alimentary Status of Native Population of the Nenets Autonomous Area

Nutritive factor is one of the most important elements of human health in the Far North. Today historical lipid-protein nutrition character of the North aborigines is changed to the “European” type. This negatively influences the local population’s health. The aim of the study was to estimate the alimentary status and features of life (alcohol intake, smoking) of the Nenets autonomous area native population and its possible connection with cardiovascular disease risk. We have obtained data on the Nenets’ diet which is still based on proteins. We have estimated lack of fruits and green. Fast-food impacts life of the local population. Among the cardiovascular diseases, such risk factors as smoking (25 %) and alcohol intake (51 %) were presented. This category of population needs development of measures for prevention of cardiovascular and intestine pathology by nutrition correction and educational work on harm of alcohol and smoking
