Key result
Regional living conditions, such as social deterioration and economic development, were associated with adherence to meat-based and cardioprotective dietary patterns among the Russian population.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to examine the effects of regional characteristics of the living environment on individual a priori and a posteriori dietary patterns in the Russian population.

How do regional living conditions affect dietary patterns in the Russian population?
Regional living conditions, including social, demographic, and economic factors, significantly influence dietary patterns among the Russian population.
Regional environment may shape Russian dietary patterns; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions, prospective studies needed.
The goal of our study was to examine the effects of the regional characteristics of the living environment on individual a priori and a posteriori dietary patterns of the Russian population. For the analysis, we used cross-sectional data from the Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases in the Regions of the Russian Federation study from 2013-2014. The sample included 18,054 men and women 25-64 years of age from 12 regions. Based on the frequency of consumption of basic foods, four a posteriori empirical dietary patterns (EDPs), along with an a priori cardioprotective dietary pattern (CPDP), were identified. To describe the regional living environment, five regional indices were used. Adherence to the meat-based EDP was directly associated with deterioration of social living conditions and a more northerly location for the region of residence. The probability of a CPDP increased with greater deterioration of social living conditions, aggravation of demographic crises, and higher industrial development in the region, as well as with declines in the economic development of the region, income, and economic inequality among the population. We detected several gender-dependent differences in the associations established. The patterns revealed reflect the national dietary preferences of Russians, and the regional indices characterize the effect of the living environment.
