A Dataset of the Rural Food Consumption and Nutrition Health in Heilongjiang Province (2022)

Food consumption is an important way for residents to obtain daily nutrition, and it is also a basic need for people to maintain their survival and keep healthy. Economic development promotes the transformation and upgrading of rural food consumption, and also changes the nutritional and health status of farmers. However, the unhealthy diet still exists, the problem of excess nutrition begins to occur in rural areas, and the proportion of people with obesity and chronic diseases is rising. The investigation of food consumption and nutrition health in rural areas is very important for guiding the scientific diet structure and improving the health level of rural people. Meanwhile, it also provides micro data for the mechanism research of rural residents’ food consumption. The dataset covers multiple regions of Heilongjiang. We selected 18 towns of 6 counties (cities/districts) to carry out research activities. The above towns are distributed in the west, north and south of Heilongjiang province. Through the pre-survey activities and expert discussion, the content of the questionnaire was improved. From July to August, 2022, we conducted the research activities and collected information on individual status, dietary reviews, food consumption, health and physical activity, nutritional awareness and literacy for over five hundred farmers. Manual quality inspection is carried out through data self-inspection and mutual inspection to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of data set. All the data were processed according to the standardized steps: unified the data format, removed the wrong data, and merged the duplicate data. Finally, 543 housholds of effective data were obtained. This data set provides multi-regional information, and it can also provide data support for the heterogeneous studies of food consumption and nutrient health in rural areas.

食物消费是居民获取日常营养的重要途径，亦是人类维持生存与保持健康的基本需求。经济发展推动了农村食物消费的转型升级，同时也改变了农户的营养健康状况。但当前不健康饮食问题依然存在，农村地区已出现营养过剩问题，肥胖与慢性病患者占比持续攀升。开展农村食物消费与营养健康调研，对于引导科学膳食结构、提升农村居民健康水平具有重要意义，同时也可为农村居民食物消费的机制研究提供微观数据支撑。本数据集覆盖黑龙江省多个区域，研究团队选取了6个县（市/区）下辖的18个乡镇开展调研，上述乡镇分布于黑龙江省西部、北部与南部地区。经预调研与专家研讨优化调查问卷内容后，研究团队于2022年7月至8月开展实地调研，收集了500余名农户的个人基本情况、膳食回顾、食物消费、健康与身体活动、营养认知与素养等相关信息。本次调研通过数据自查与互检开展人工质检，以保障数据集的真实性与准确性。所有数据均按照标准化流程处理：统一数据格式、剔除错误数据、合并重复数据，最终得到543份有效农户家庭数据。本数据集提供多区域调研信息，可为农村地区食物消费与营养健康的异质性研究提供数据支持。
