ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo provide basic data of daily dietary intake from various food categories as well as in different regions， seasons， genders， and age groups in Shanghai residents aged 15 and over. MethodsMultistage stratified proportional probability sampling （PPS） was used to extract the samples， and food frequency questionnaire （FFQ） was used to investigate the dietary intake of the subjects in four seasons from 2012 to 2013. The weighted statistical analysis of the samples comprehensively considered the sampling design weights， the stratified adjustment weights， and the non-response adjustment weights. ResultsThe total daily dietary intake （excluding drinking water） of residents aged 15 years and above was 1 174.71 g， and the highest three daily dietary intake categories were cereals （252.31 g）， vegetables （205.36 g） and fruits （141.00 g）. The total daily dietary intake of the residents in the urban area， the suburban area and the rural area was 1 209.15 g，1 172.27 g and 948.50 g， respectively， and the total daily dietary intake in the outer suburb area was significantly lower than that in other areas （F=74.12，P<0.001）. The total daily dietary intake in different seasons was 1 232.47 g in spring， 1 166.80 g in summer， 1 241.15 g in autumn and 1 088.83 g in winter， respectively. The total daily dietary intake in winter was lower than that in other seasons （F=15.96，P<0.001）. Fruits and beverages intake showed apparent seasonality. The total daily dietary intake in male and female residents was 1 234.03 g and 1 112.32 g， respectively， and the total daily dietary intake of male was higher than that of female （F=78.59，P<0.001）. The total daily dietary intake of residents in different age groups was 1 218.64 g for 15‒44 years old， 1 141.27 g for 45‒59 years old， and 1 064.54 g for 60 years old and above （F=20.28，P<0.001）. ConclusionThe daily intake of cereals， livestock and poultry meat， aquatic products， eggs and edible oil is relatively balanced， but the daily intake of vegetables， fruits and milk is relatively insufficient for the residents aged 15 years and above in Shanghai. The daily intake of different food types shows distinguishable characteristics in urban and rural areas， seasons， age groups and genders.
