{"product_id":"nutrition-transition-in-mauritius-von-anjina-saddul","title":"Nutrition transition in Mauritius","description":"\u003cp\u003eNested in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius hosts a multi- cultural population, consisting of Asian Indians,  Creoles ¿ predominantly of African ancestry ¿ and  Sino-Mauritians of Chinese descent. Following its  independence, the country gradually flourished from  a low income, agricultural-based economy to an  export-oriented upper-middle income nation which  boasts one of the most remarkable economic track  record in sub-Saharan Africa. Beyond economic  prosperity, these changes also triggered shifts in  dietary patterns and levels of nutrition-related  chronic diseases reached unprecedented highs.  Indeed, with its large population of Asian descent,  Mauritius has one of the highest incidence of Type  2 Diabetes in the World. This book contemplates the nutrition transition  (¿Westernisation of diet¿) that Mauritius has been  undergoing as a consequence of rapid modernisation.  Dietary patterns and concurrent changes in  prevalence of chronic diseases ¿ Obesity and Type 2  Diabetes ¿ typically associated with such a  transition are examined.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843362924\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA perspective of dietary patterns and changing prevalence of Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843362924","offer_id":39470127939677,"sku":"9783843362924","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/a22db89f-5a5c-4765-a294-73a7ef979bda.jpg?v=1769494899","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/nutrition-transition-in-mauritius-von-anjina-saddul","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
