Dynamics of the Chinese diet and the role of urbanicity, 1991–2011

Abstract: China’s food consumption patterns and eating and cooking behaviors changed dramatically between 1991 and 2011. Macronutrient composition has shifted toward fats, and protein and sodium intakes remain high and potassium intake low. The rapid decline in intake of coarse grains and, later, of refined grains and increases in intake of edible oils and animal-source foods accompanied by major eating and cooking behavior shifts are leading to what might be characterized as an unhealthy Western type of diet, often bas… Show more

“…In the Far East, meats were traditionally used as flavorings or condiments (Nam et al, 2010). Due to their fast economic growth, however, the level of meat production and consumption in Eastern countries has grown rapidly, which is leading to what has been characterized as an unhealthy Western type of diet, often based on traditional recipes with major additions and changes (Popkin & Du, 2003;Zhai et al, 2014). After immigration to another country, the majority of ethnic groups appear to modify their eating habits by combining parts of their traditional diet with some of the less healthy elements of the Western diet (Gilbert & Khokhar, 2008).…”

In large part because of the sheer scale of China, these developments are generating global challenges for agriculture, environmental management and food security [4,5].…”

“…The burden of disease attributable to individual behaviors is steadily rising and inequitably [8,12]. Unhealthy diets characterized by high intake of sodium and low intakes of fruit, vegetables and whole grains have synergized with decreasing levels of participation in physical activity [13][14][15]. These changes in built environment and behavior have been implicated in the observed increases in obesity and diabetes [2,5,8,9].…”
