“…According to a large cohort study from the China Health and Nutrition Survey between 1991 and 2011, total meat intake was 86·7 g/d in 2011 and the proportions of Chinese residents consuming red meat and poultry increased from 65·7 and 7·5 % in 1991 to 86·1 and 20·9 % in 2011, respectively (22) . The result also indicated that fresh red meat was the main component of total meat, and the proportion of adults consuming fatty fresh red meat was double the proportion of adults consuming lean fresh red meat in 2011 (75·1 v. 30·8 %) (22) .…”

The objective of the present paper was to review the consumption status of meat and dairy products among Chinese residents. The research topics included production, consumption and health implications of dairy and meat, and the data sources included reports of national surveys, research papers and data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China. The average intake of meat, especially pork, has continued to increase in China. Pork intake increased from 37·1 g/d in 1992 to 64·3 g/d in 2012. There was a much higher margin in rural regions; pork intake of rural residents increased from 25·0 g/d in 1992 to 59·9 g/d in 2012, which resulted in a narrowed gap between urban and rural areas. Although the average intake of dairy products increased from 14·9 g/d in 1992 to 24·7 g/d in 2012, the overall level was still lower. There was a significant difference of dairy consumption between urban and rural residents. The gap of per capita consumption of milk between urban and rural households was 3·5 kg/year in 1990, reached the maximum of 16·9 kg/year in 2003, then decreased to 8·7 kg/year in 2012. In conclusion, the finding of this review sheds light on some problems with food consumption patterns in China. Effective strategies need to be adopted in order to change the consumption patterns. The consumption of milk and replacing pork with poultry or fish or other health foods should be encouraged.

“…The recommendation was based on the Salvadorian and WHO recommendations (30,31) and an upper limit was set based on recent cholesterol recommendations (39) . The meat component reflects the minimum established by the Salvadorian guidelines and concerns kidney problems and obesity associated with excess consumption (40) , with an upper limit based on the American Heart Association recommendations (35) . Finally, the HDQI assessed intake of highenergy, low-nutrient-density (HELND) foods (sweets and manufactured snacks) using frequency and intake of sugarsweetened beverages (SSB; fruit and carbonated drinks) using the Harvard Healthy Beverage Plan (36) (Table 1).…”

Objective: To develop a household-level diet quality indicator (HDQI) using the Salvadorian dietary guidelines to assess the dietary quality of households in vulnerable communities in El Salvador. Design: The Salvadorian dietary guidelines were reviewed and eighteen HDQI components were identified (nine foods and nine nutrients). The components were evaluated using a proportional scoring system from 0 to 1, penalizing over-and under-consumption, where appropriate. The HDQI was validated in consultations with experts in El Salvador and by statistical analyses of the study sample data. Dietary variety and energy, nutrient and food intakes were compared among households above and below the median HDQI score using Student's t test. Setting: Vulnerable, border communities in El Salvador. Subjects: Households (n 140) provided food consumption information using an FFQ and sociodemographic data. Results: The mean HDQI score was 63?5, ranging from 43?6 to 90?0. The indicator showed a positive, significant association with the dietary variety components. The statistical associations of the indicator with the energy and nutrient components were as expected. Conclusions: Based on the indicator's demonstrated face validity and the results of the expert consultations, the indicator is suggested as a good measure of diet quality for households in El Salvador.

“…Higher demand for poultry has also been observed in the American population. 15 The current literature does not demonstrate any higher incidence of colorectal cancer when the lean meat intake is within the recommended amounts. 16,17 The American Heart Association recommends a maximum of 170 g of lean meat…”

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Meat is a food with high nutritional density that has significant participation in the Brazilian diet. However, in excess it can cause harm to health. The aim of this study was to analyze the meat intake (g/day) among adults according to sociodemographic, behavioral and health situation characteristics, and to assess the types of meat most consumed. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional population-based study conducted in the city of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, in 2008 and2009. METHODS: Two-stage cluster sampling was used. The analysis included 948 adults between 20 and 59 years, who were participants in the Campinas Health Survey. Meat intake was assessed using 24-hour dietary recall. RESULTS:The mean meat intake adjusted for sex and age was 182.3 g (95% CI: 170.6-193.9 g), with significantly lower intake among women, individuals aged 50 years or over, those with the presence of two or more self-reported chronic diseases and those with three or more health complaints. Higher meat intake was found in segments with intermediate monthly family income (between 1 and 3 minimum wages), those with 16 or more appliances per household and those who consumed soft drinks seven days a week. Beef was consumed most frequently (44%) among the meats in the diet, followed by poultry, fish and pork. CONCLUSION: The data from this study reveal high meat intake in the population of Campinas and identify the segments that need to be prioritized for strategies directed towards appropriate meat intake.
