Urbanization, population aging, and climatic changes have mostly contributed to nutrition transition and, consequently, to effects of food habits on the epidemic of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), especially cancer. Climatic changes are negatively affecting crop production, particularly biodiversity, leading to reduced food choices and, consequently, nutritional value and the protection conferred from consumption of a variety of nutrients essential in a healthy diet. This brief review analyzes the possible link between rapid demographic changes, climatic and environmental crises, and the current food system as possible factors contributing to the role of nutrition transition in the onset of cancer.
城市化、人口老龄化和气候变化主要促成了营养转型，进而影响了饮食习惯对慢性非传染性疾病（NCDs），尤其是癌症的流行。气候变化正在对作物生产产生负面影响，特别是对生物多样性产生负面影响，导致食物选择减少，进而降低了营养成分的营养价值和从各种营养成分中获得的保护，这些营养成分在健康饮食中是必不可少的。本简要综述分析了人口快速变化、气候和环境危机以及当前食物系统之间可能存在的联系，这些因素可能是营养转型在癌症发病中起作用的原因。
