Abstract:
Objectives To investigate the consumption of carbohydrate and distribution of dietary glycemic load (GL) in Chinese adults. Method Data from China National Nutrition and Health Survey in 2002 were used for this analysis. Dietary glycemic load was calculated as a function of glycemic index, carbohydrate content and frequency of intake of individual foods. Results Dietary glycemic load was contributed by 92% from cereals. People with low dietary GL /4184 kJ tended to consume more fat, less cereals, and less carbohydrates. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher in those with low GL/4184 kJ, especially in urban residents. Conclusion People with low GL/4184 kJ tend to consume more fat, less cereals, less carbohydrates. The situation in urban residents is more serious. Based on factors including cereals intake, energy contribution from fat and carbohydrates, prevalence of malnutrition, overweight and obesity. A proposed range for dietary GL /4184 kJ in Chinese adults can be 80~120.
