    Abstract:

    Objective This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence the consumption of meats among Beijing residents aged 3 years and above, providing a scientific basis for related food nutrition and safety risk assessment and promoting national health.Methods Using the data from the trans fatty acid food consumption survey of the China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment in 2020, this study selected 2 394 Beijing residents aged 3 years and above. The food frequency method was employed to collect meat consumption data. χ2 tests and multivariate logistic regression were applied to analyze meat consumption and influence factors.Results The percentage of meat consumption was 91.9% among Beijing residents aged 3 years old and above. The pork, beef, mutton, and poultry consumption percentages were 77.4%, 50.6%, 21.5%, and 23.0%, respectively. The meat consumption pattern was significantly influenced by age, ethnicity, education level, occupation, and income (family income of average month) among residents (P<0.05). Results of multivariate logistic regression showed that ethnicity was an independent risk factor for pork consumption; ethnicity, occupation, and income were independent risk factors for beef consumption; age and income were independent risk factors for mutton consumption; income was an independent risk factor for poultry consumption.Conclusion Meat consumption is high among Beijing residents. Meat varieties are gradually enriched, and the dietary structure is gradually improved. However, pork is still the main meat product among residents. Hence, scientific nutrition guidance should be given to promote national health effectively.
