First, the average height of residents continues to grow. The average height of men and women aged 0/8-44 in China is 169.7 cm and 158 cm, which is 1.2 cm and 0.8 cm higher than that in 20 15 years. The average height of boys and girls aged 6- 17 increased by 1.6 cm and 1 cm respectively.
Second, the problem of insufficient nutrition has been continuously improved. The growth retardation rate of children under 6 years old has dropped below 7%, and the low weight rate has dropped below 5%, all of which have achieved the national planning goal in 2020. It is particularly worth mentioning that the problem of growth retardation of rural children in China has been fundamentally improved, and the growth retardation rate of rural children under 6 years old has dropped from 20 15 years to 5.8%; The growth retardation rate of children and adolescents aged 6- 17 decreased from 4.7% to 2.2%.
Third, the population micronutrient deficiency has also been continuously improved. Taking anemia as an example, the monitoring results show that the anemia rate of residents aged 18 and above in China is 8.7%, the anemia rate of children and adolescents aged 6- 17 is 6. 1%, and the anemia rate of pregnant women is 13.6%, which was announced in 20 15 years.
Of course, through monitoring, we also see that some prominent nutritional problems of China residents are mainly reflected in the following three aspects:
First, the problem of unreasonable dietary structure is prominent, the energy supply ratio of dietary fat continues to rise, the intake of edible oil and salt is much higher than the recommended value, and the intake of fruits, beans, bean products and milk is insufficient.
Second, the situation of overweight and obesity among China residents is grim, and the rate of overweight and obesity among urban and rural residents of all ages continues to rise.
Third, some key areas and groups, such as infants, women of childbearing age and the elderly, still need attention.
In view of these still existing nutritional problems, the next step is to promote the implementation of the Healthy China Reasonable Diet Action and National Nutrition Plan planned in 20 17-2030, and take effective measures to actively respond to them with one action and one plan as the starting point.
The first is to increase the intensity of popular science education. Popularize dietary nutrition knowledge in an all-round way, advocate reducing salt, oil and sugar, and at the same time strengthen the "three health" publicity activities, eat more healthy diets such as beans, milk, vegetables and fruits, and develop good eating habits. In order to better help residents practice reasonable diet and promote nutrition and health, we are currently doing a job, that is, organizing the revision of the current dietary guidelines for residents to guide residents to eat reasonably and improve their health.
The second is to promote the coordinated development of food supply and people's nutritional needs. Strengthen the guiding role of nutrition in food industry chain such as agriculture and food processing industry.
The third is to continuously monitor the nutritional health status and food composition of residents, dynamically grasp the changes of dietary nutrition status of Chinese residents, evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition improvement, find problems in time, adjust and improve the national nutrition improvement strategy in real time, and refine relevant work measures.
Fourth, take comprehensive intervention measures, focus on key nutrition problems, especially the increasingly prominent overweight and obesity problems, and further increase intervention. We should focus on the intervention of obesity in children and adolescents, give full play to the role of all aspects, and work together to solve the current outstanding problems. ?
