Objective To analyze meat consumption situation and related factors of Chinese adult residents.Methods The 2018 survey data of the "China Health and Nutrition Survey" project was used. Eleven thousand one hundred and ninety adult residents aged 18 and above with complete 3-day 24-hour dietary data and demographic and economic characteristics data for three consecutive days were selected as research subjects. Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon rank- the sum non-parametric test were used to test the differences between groups in the meat consumption of research subjects with different characteristics. The χ² test was used to compare the meat consumption rates of research subjects with different characteristics. The influencing factors of meat consumption of the research subjects was analyzed by multi-factor logistic regression model， The meat consumption lower or higher than the recommended meat intake （40-75 g/d） was judged as low or high meat consumption.Results The meat consumption P₅₀ （P₂₅， P₇₅） of the study population was 78.4 g/d （30.0 g/d， 141.7 g/d）. The consumption of pork rate was the highest （81.0%）， followed by poultry （28.3%） and other meat （23.8%）. The lowest consumption rate was animal offal （6.0%）. Age， gender and income level were significantly related to abnormal meat consumption in study population. Compared with the low-income group， adult residents at the middle and high income levels are significantly less likely to consume high or low meat consumption by 13% and 17%， respectively， with OR of 0.87 （95%CI： 0.77-0.98） and 0.83 （95%CI： 0.73-0.95）.Conclusion The main meat consumed by Chinese adults is pork， and the problem of unreasonable meat consumption is relatively prominent. Precise guidance should be carried out based on the meat consumption situation of different groups of people to guide adult residents in developing good meat consumption concepts to improve their health.
