title: [Status and trend of fat and cholesterol intake among Chinese middle and old aged residents in 9 provinces from 1991 to 2009].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the status and trend of fat and cholesterol intake among Chinese middle and old aged residents in 9 provinces from 1991 to 2009, and provide the basic reference material for the revision of Chinese DRIs.
  
  
  METHODS
  The data were collected in 1991, 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004, 2006 and 2009 from China Health and Nutrition Survey. The sample was 50 years old and over of health male and female residents and the intake of fat, cholesterol and mean percentage of energy from fat was calculated and compared with Chinese DRIs.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results showed that, in 1991 - 2009, the dietary fats, mean percentage of energy from total fat and intake of cholesterol had an increasing trend in the surveyed population of 9 provinces, and in 2009, the results was 81.9 g/d, 270.8 mg/d and 31.8% in male, and was 70.4 g/d, 238.5 mg/d and 32.2% in female respectively. The percentage of population whose mean percentage of energy from total fat exceed 30% and intake of cholesterol exceed 300 mg/d increased significantly, and in 2009, the results was 54.7% and 35.8% in male, and was 56.9% and 29.8% in female respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The dietary structure of middle and old aged residents in Chinese 9 provinces had changed significantly, and the percentage of energy from total fat and intake of cholesterol had closed or exceeded the Chinese DRIs. So the intake of food that is rich in fat and cholesterol should be controlled.
