Major Cause of Death Major Risk Factors of Death Cancer Analysis Tables (Appendix)

Causes of death across Kazakhstan are changing because of Population Increase, Life Expectancy rise and Living Standard.On this below article we provide graphical representation of major causes of death in Kazakhstan.

Highlights of Kazakhstan BMI and Diet Compositions

Comprehensive data on food supply and consumption is published by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Data was analyzed by The Global Graph and is published in these below Highlights, Graphs and Tables (Data Quality & definitions)

As per United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), average person in Kazakhstan gets their caloric supply from :

Carbohydrates : 53.88%53.88%
Fat : 39.12%39.12%
Animal protein : 7.37%7.37%
Plant protein : 5.09%5.09%

5.46% increase in caloric supply : Currently Kazakhstan gets 3264/kilocalories per person per day worth of caloric supply when compared to 3095/kilocalories per person per day in Year 1961
Cereals & Grains, Oils & Fats and Dairy & Eggs are three major diet compositions in Kazakhstan
Wheat, Rice and Barley are three major Cereal preferences in Kazakhstan
National and World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations on vegetable intake is to range between 200-250g per day and in Kazakhstan average intake is 540.25 grams
Apples, Oranges & Mandarines and Grapes are three major Fruit Types Intake in Kazakhstan
National and World Health Organization (WHO) typically set a guideline of 200g Fruit Intake per day and in Kazakhstan average Fruit intake is 248.44grams
In Kazakhstan, average male height is in the decreasing trend and female height is in decreasing trend
53.90% of population is suffering from obesity and this trend is continously increasing from last few years
Average Male BMI in Kazakhstan is in the range of obese and Average Female BMI is in range of obese (BMI = Body Mass Index - The WHO define a BMI <=18.5 as 'underweight'; 18.5 to 25 as 'normal/healthy'; 25.0 to 30.0 as 'obese')

Breakdown of the average per capita intake of cereals by specific cereal-based commodity types, measured in kilocalories per person per day. This figure measures the primary equivalent of all food products derived from a given commodity (e.g. "wheat" represents the primary equivalent of its derived products). Data refers to cereal food supply at the consumer level but does not account for consumer wastage in

This below table shows the Diet Compositions (Average per capita dietary energy supply by commodity groups, measured in kilocalories per person per day) in Kazakhstan

Cancer Analysis

0.47% of Kazakhstan population was suffering from cancer i.e. 70716 people (average of years 2011-2016).

In last few years it has been observed that, people suffering from Esophageal cancer have 6% of survival chance.Kazakhstan was really successful in diagnosing Non-melanoma skin cancer where 98% of people were cured.Highest number of cancer patients i.e. 38344 people were of age group 50-69 year olds.In 2016, 3656 were suffering from Stomach cancer out of which 2250 people were dead. This means 61.54% death rate of people suffering from Stomach cancer. This below data represents major cancer types in Kazakhstan and number of deaths due to particular cancer types :
