Trends in Unprocessed Red and Processed Meat Consumption in the Mexican Population, 2006-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Meat consumption trends in Mexico are poorly understood, and this may have implications for Mexico's diet-related disease burden and the sustainability of diets.

Objectives

We assessed trends in protein-rich food groups and the contribution of unprocessed red and processed meat to nutrient intake.

Methods

We used nationally representative (all ages) dietary information from the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey, collected using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire in 2006, 2012, 2016, 2018, and 2020. We tested for time trends and sociodemographic differences in daily consumption using survey-weighted generalized linear regression, adjusting for total energy intake. The contribution to nutrient intake was assessed from a 2016 24-h dieta
