Objective To provide reliable basis for the coordinated development of health levels among Chinese residents， understand， the dietary structure and characteristics of Chinese residents was evaluated and analyzed through the dietary mineral intake status of adult men in China.Methods According to the average daily intake of 12 types of dietary mineral elements per adult male in 20 provinces （autonomous regions， municipalities） of China， which was publicly released in the Fifth China Total Diet Study， the entropy weight method and TOPSIS comprehensive evaluation method were used to evaluate and analyze them.Results The intake of dietary calcium and dietary zinc was significantly low， and the intake in various regions was below the recommended level. The average intake of dietary potassium， magnesium， and molybdenum basically met the recommended or appropriate intake level， while the intake of other mineral elements was generally high. Overall， the food sources of mineral elements in various regions of China were basically similar， with grains， vegetables， meat and beans as the main sources. The weight of the 12 mineral element indicators ranged from 0.048 to 0.127， with the highest degree of variation in dietary manganese indicators and the lowest degree of variation in dietary magnesium indicators. Overall， the comprehensive evaluation of dietary mineral intake levels in Hebei Province， Shanghai City and other regions was good， while the comprehensive evaluation of Jilin Province， Liaoning Province and other regions was poor.Conclusion There are significant differences in the intake levels of dietary mineral elements among different regions， which are closely related to the dietary structure of local residents. Continuously adjusting the dietary structure of residents through diversified diets can help improve problems such as insufficient or excessive dietary mineral intake， and further enhance the health level of Chinese residents.
