Objective This study aimed to provide evidence for the consumption of vegetable oil to promote a healthy lifestyle. The consumption status of different types of vegetable oil and the influencing factors were investigated through a survey of edible vegetable oil consumption among residents over 3 years old in Beijing， China， in 2020.Methods Using the data from the Trans-Fatty Acid Food Consumption Survey of the China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment in 2020， 2 289 Beijing permanent residents aged over 3 years old were selected. Dietary data were collected by 3-day 24 h recalls combined with food frequency and weighting methods. Non-parametric tests and χ² tests were used to analyze the consumption and influence factors of vegetable oil consumption.Results The median vegetable oil consumption for consumers was 32.7 g/d. Overall， 43.3% of the residents’ vegetable oil intake exceeded the recommended edible oil intake standards （25-30 g） according to the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese （2022）， including 24.8， 1.7， and 1.8 g/d for peanut， sunflower， and corn oils， respectively. Non-parametric tests showed that there were no significant influencing factors for the consumption of various vegetable oils among residents based on sex， age， educational level， and monthly household incomes. The consumption rate of peanut oil among residents in Beijing was the highest （68.9%）， followed by that of sunflower seed oil and corn oil （6.1% and 5.7%， respectively）.Conclusion The average vegetable oil consumption by Beijing residents exceeds the recommended dietary consumption， and there is a high degree of concentration in the type of vegetable oil consumed. Therefore， relevant scientific nutrition guidance should be established to promote a healthy lifestyle.
