Research on the Influence Mechanism and Optimization Path of Market Dietary Structure on the Health of Rural Residents

Abstract

With the development of global economic integration and the diversification of the food market, the dietary structure of rural residents is undergoing profound changes, and their health status has also received widespread attention. This study aims to explore the influence mechanism of market dietary structure on the health of rural residents and propose optimization paths. Based on the national rural tracking survey data of the China Rural Revitalization Association from 2022 to 2024, this study uses multiple linear regression models and Logistic regression models to analyze the influence mechanism of market dietary structure on the health of rural residents. The results show that meat consumption is significantly positively correlated with the BMI of rural residents, vegetable consumption is significantly negatively correlated with BMI and can reduce the probability of chronic diseases, age growth will cause a slight increase in BMI, and an increase in BMI will increase the risk of chronic diseases. In addition, rural residents have a high acceptance of animal-derived certified foods, and staple foods and protein expenditures account for a large proportion in the dietary structure. This study provides a theoretical basis and practical guidance for improving the nutritional health status of rural residents and promoting the healthy development of rural areas.
