Abstract
Objective: To explore the current status of dietary fiber intake in Chinese children and adolescents.
Methods: Using the data from the 2019-2021 China Nutrition and Health System Survey for Children Aged 0-18, 6116 school-age children from 28 rural and urban survey sites in 14 provinces of China were recorded for their food intake using a continuous 3-day 24-hour dietary review method, and their dietary fiber intake was calculated based on the Chinese Food Composition Table.
Results: The median dietary fiber intake for school-aged children aged 6-17 was 7.30 grams per day, and the energy standardized intake was 3.41 grams per 1000 calories. The dietary fiber intake of urban children(3.66 g/1000 kcal) is higher than that of rural children(3.21 g/1000 kcal), and the difference is significant(P<0.05). However, only 8.68% of school-age children aged 6-17 have reached the recommended dietary fiber intake, with urban boys aged 9-11(16.46%) having the highest intake and rural boys aged 6-8(5.41%) having the lowest.
Conclusion: The dietary fiber intake of school-age children and adolescents in China is insufficient, especially in rural areas and younger age groups.
