BJNEWS (Chief Reporter: Guo Tie) On August 22, the project of compiling the Report on Healthy Diet and Health in China led by the Chinese Population Welfare Foundation was launched in Beijing. The report will look into the nutrient intake and health among Chinese with big-data-enabled analysis.

Supported by National Institute for Nutrition and Health Chinese Center for Disease Control, the Chinese Health Association, and Yili Group, the Report will focus on the diet and health of Chinese people of different age groups with big-data analysis. This will shed light on the main dietary and nutritious problems in different parts of Chinese. Correspondingly, targeted remedy measures and interference strategies will be proposed, which can also be used as scientific guidance for revising the Dietary Guideline for Chinese Residents and Chinese Dietary Reference Intake. Ding Gangqiang, head of the National Institute for Nutrition and Health Chinese Center for Disease Control, noted that “ the Project will facilitate Chinese residents to develop a healthy dietary habit, thus meaningful to enhancing Chinese people’s health.”

Yili said that two years into the implementation of the Healthy Diet Action Plan, a key operation of the Health China Initiative (2019-2030), with the mobilization and guidance of the government, and the joint efforts of the whole society, people have been actively participating in it. It is expected that the Report will provide a great boost to the delivery of the Healthy Diet Action Plan and the National Nutrition Plan.
