- Abstract: The occupational population in China faces increasingly complex health risks, with a growing burden of chronic diseases and multimorbidity. Based on data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), this special column systematically analyzed trends in dietary structure, nutrient intake, and metabolic abnormalities among different occupational groups from 1989 to 2018, revealing the combined effects of occupational categories and dietary behaviors on multimorbidity risk. The findings highlight that rational dietary patterns and healthy behaviors are key modifiable factors. It is recommended to leverage workplaces as platforms for nutritional interventions and behavioral improvement, thereby improving health literacy among the occupational population. Furthermore, the establishment of a multi-sectoral health promotion mechanism is recommended to guide dietary optimization and lifestyle transformation, contributing to chronic disease prevention and occupational health protection.
