THE STATUS AND TREND FOR DIETARY PATTERN OF ENERGY, PROTEIN AND FAT IN CHINESE RESIDENTS / 营养学报

ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe the status and trend of dietary energy, protein and fat pattern of Chinese residents. Method: 23 470 households including 68 962 subjects were randomly sampled from 132 counties in 31 provinces, autonomous regions and the municipalities. The 24 h dietary recall method for 3 consecutive days was used in dietary survey and weighing method was used for condiment intake. Results: The average energy intake per reference man per day was 9.42 MJ (2 250.5 kcal), 11.8% and 29.6% from protein and fat respectively. The percentages of energy from fat of big city residents arrived 38.4%. The percentages of energy from cereals, animal food and pure energy food were 57.9%, 12.6% and 17.3% respectively. The average protein intake per reference man per day was 65.9 g, 52%, 7.5% ,25.1% and 15.3% from cereals, bean and bean product, animal food and other foods respectively. The average fat intake per reference man per day was 76.3 g, 39.2% from animal food. Conclusion: The dietary change of Chinese residents represents the characteristics of the transition period, including the decrease of energy and protein intake per capita, decrease of the percentage of dietary energy supplied by cereals and increase of fat intake per capita,especially from animal foods, and the proportion of energy contributed by fat.
