4 What are the contributing nutritional factors to the incidence of cancer in Morocco? Some results from a Moroccan National case control study

5 Methodology - short Reminder Objective: We investigated associations between nutritional factors and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk in Morocco. Colon and rectal cancer 1516 Cases 1516 Controls Matched by Age (5 years) + sex+ center Moroccan Food Frequency Questionnaire* * Centers of the National Case control study *K EL Kinany et al. Nutr J ;17(1):61. Adaptation and validation of a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to assess dietary intake in Moroccan adults.

11 Conclusion Increasing incidence of CRC (Even if still among the lowest) First national and large study in Morocco and MENA region Same known nutritional risk factors Some Moroccan specificities studied for the first time Other needed studies ( Extension of the EPIC to APIC study for example) More accurate results International comparisons Adaptation of the international recommendations to the local context

13 Nutrient profiling and cancer risk results from the EPIC study as an example for future public health strategies Inge Huybrechts Track 1 - Motivating prevention and healthy behaviours Disclosure of interest: no conflicts of interests to declare 1

14 Background Figure1. Nutri-Score Helping consumers make healthier food choices key to prevention of cancer Political authorities consider the implementation of a simplified labelling system to reflect the nutritional quality of food products Nutrient profiling is a scientific method for assessing the nutritional quality of foods & beverages can be used to promote public health dietary goals

15 The Nutri-Score A five-colour nutrition label derived from the Nutrient Profiling System of the British Food Standards Agency (FSAm-NPS) Calculated for each food/beverage using its 100g-content in: energy sugar saturated fatty acids sodium fibres proteins fruits/vegetables/legumes/nuts Figure1. Nutri-Score

16 The Nutri-Score In 2017, the Nutri-Score was selected as official front-ofpack nutrition label to be implemented in France In 2018, discussions regarding the possible implementation of a unique nutrition labelling system for all EU countries were initiated Similar discussions are ongoing in North & South Americas, Canada and Australia Scientific evidence regarding the relevance of this label at an international level is important Figure1. Nutri-Score

17 Figure1. Nutri-Score Nutri-Score & cancer risk in Europe Validity & health impact assessment of the Nutri-Score as underlying nutrient profiling system for front-of-pack nutrition labels is needed Associations between the individual Nutri-Score and cancer risk investigated in the large and diverse European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort.

18 The EPIC-study Multi-centre cohort 521,448 volunteers Recruited from 1992 to European countries Dietary questionnaires Lifestyle questionnaires Biospecimen (e.g. metabolites, GWAS) Health outcomes (e.g. via cancer registries, health insurance records) Food composition & occurrence data Source: 6

19 Computation of Nutri-Score Higher score lower nutritional quality

20 Associations between Nutri-Score & cancer risk Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, EPIC FSAm-NPS Dietary Index* range (men/women) n=471,495 *Higher score lower nutritional quality Per 2-point increment Q5 vs. Q1 P-trend Total cancer All (cases/person-years) 49,794/6,635,062 Sex-adjusted model - HR (95% CI) 1.04 ( ) 1.12 ( ) <0.001 Multi-adjusted model - HR (95% CI) 1.02 ( ) 1.07 ( ) <0.001 Colorectal cancer All (cases/person-years) 5,806/6,639,343 Sex-adjusted model - HR (95% CI) 1.03 ( ) 1.11 ( ) 0.03 Multi-adjusted model - HR (95% CI) 1.03 ( ) 1.11 ( ) 0.03 Breast cancer Women (cases/person-years) 12,063/4,659,777 Unadjusted model - HR (95% CI) 1.03 ( ) 1.08 ( ) 0.01 Multi-adjusted model - HR (95% CI) 1.02 ( ) 1.06 ( ) 0.05

21 Associations between Nutri-Score & health Weight gain in men (SU.VI.MAX) +16% risk for becoming obese for 1 point increase in Nutri-score +91% risk for becoming obese (Q4 vs. Q1) Figure1. Nutri-Score Metabolic syndrome (SU.VI.MAX) +43% risk of developing MetS (Q4 vs. Q1) Cardiovascular disease (NutriNet-Sante & SU.VI.MAX) +40 to +61% risk of CVD (Q4 vs. Q1) Cancer (SU.VI.MAX & NutriNet-Sante ) Overall cancer: +7 to +34% risk (Q5 vs. Q1) Breast cancer: +52% risk (Q5 vs. Q1) Julia, Kesse-Guyot et al., Prev Med 2015;81: Julia, Kesse-Guyot et al., J Nutr, 2015;145(10): Deschasaux, Touvier et al., BMJ Open. 2017;7(6):e Adriouch, Fezeu, Touvier et al., Int J Cardiol. 2017;234:22-27 Adriouch, Fezeu, Touvier et al., Eur J Prev Cardiol. 2016;23(15): Donnenfeld, Touvier et al, BJN 2015;1-9 9

22 Associations between Nutri-Score & health risk in Europe The consumption of food products with a higher Nutrient Profiling Score (lower nutritional quality) was associated with a higher disease risk (incl. cancer, obesity, metabolic syndrome, CVD) This supports the relevance of the Nutri-Score as underlying nutrient profiling system for front-of-pack nutrition labels in the prevention of NCD such as cancer Figure1. Nutri-Score

23 WHO Nutrient profiling project Development of an internationally recognized method for nutrient profiling? beneficial for a number of applications criteria might not be applicable to all cultures, settings and applications A procedure for systematic validation and comparison of different approaches is required WHO has developed a Guiding Principles and Framework Manual to assist member states in developing or adapting NP models.

26 Take home messages Specificity of nutrition-related exposures and local environment are different in LMIC than in Westernized populations More local research is needed, as cancer risk factors and subtypes may not be the same in LMIC than in HIC Prospective investigations into cancer and nutrition are needed (e.g. EPIC APIC)

27 Take home messages Use local resources, expertise and collaborations Recommendations for cancer prevention may need to be adapted and tailored for LMIC Feasibility and impact of public health strategies shown to be effective in HIC should be evaluated in LMIC (e.g. Nutrient Profiling as Front-of-Package)

28 Priorities in LMIC? Discussion Unutilised potentials in LMIC? Nutrition transition Opportunities in LMIC?

29 Understanding global nutrition habits and dynamics as a step towards cancer prevention and control Aim: Nutrition-related factors of common cancers in HIC Nutrition-related factors in LMIC? Future public health strategies

30 Ellen Kampman, PhD Nutrition and Disease Wageningen University, The Netherlands

31 Phyllis Ngunjiri s questions Why is the incidence of Western cancers in Africa and other LMICs increasing? Are risk factors of cancer in LMICs similar to HICs? Why is breast cancer occurring in younger women in Africa? Is obesity a risk factor for breast cancer in Africa? What can we do to prevent cancer in LMICs?

32 Global cancer incidence

33 Predicted global cancer cases Economic progress Increase in life expectancy Urbanisation Adaptation to Western lifestyles
