Data on fat and fibre content in the Singapore diet are presented. Food availability data show an upward trend in per capita fat and fibre supplies over the last 25 years. However, food availability is usually an overestimate of actual consumption. Data on food consumption levels show that fat intake in Singapore is in reality relatively lower than the corresponding intake in Western countries. Fibre intake is also lower than in the West. At the same time, the incidence of colorectal cancer is increasing. This provides an interesting opportunity for analytical studies to further elucidate the likely role of diet in the aetiology of colorectal cancer in Singapore.
本文呈现了新加坡饮食中脂肪和纤维含量的数据。食物可获得性数据显示，在过去25年里，人均脂肪和纤维供应量呈上升趋势。然而，食物可获得性通常高估了实际消费量。食物消费水平数据表明，新加坡的脂肪摄入量实际上相对低于西方国家的相应摄入量。纤维摄入量也低于西方。与此同时，结直肠癌的发病率正在上升。这为分析研究提供了一个有趣的机会，以进一步阐明饮食在新加坡结直肠癌病因学中可能发挥的作用。
