Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The rates of obesity, undernutrition, and other non-communicable diseases are on the rise among Lebanese adults. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the food consumption habits of this population to understand diet quality, analyze consumption trends, and compare them to healthy diets known to reduce risks of non-communicable diseases.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the food consumption patterns, energy intake, as well as macro- and micro-nutrient intake among a nationally representative sample of Lebanese adults aged 18-64 years old.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out from May to September 2022 involving 444 participants from all eight Lebanese governorates. Sociodemographic and medical information was gathered through a questionnaire, food consumption was evaluated using a validated FFQ and 24 h recall, and anthropometric measurements were recorded.
RESULTS: There was a notable lack of adherence to three healthy diets (Mediterranean, EAT-Lancet, USDA) among Lebanese adults. Their dietary pattern is characterized by high energy, added sugars, sodium, and saturated fat intake while being low in healthy fats, vitamin A, D, and E. Adult women are falling short of meeting their daily calcium, vitamin D, iron, and vitamin B12 requirements, putting them at increased risk of anemia, osteoporosis, and other health issues. Grains and cereals were the most consumed food groups, and most participants were found to be overweight or obese.
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the results highlight the need for public health policies and interventions aimed at encouraging Lebanese adults to make healthier food choices and transition towards diets like the Mediterranean, EAT-Lancet, or USDA diet. These diets have been shown to promote overall health and wellbeing.

摘要：
背景：肥胖率，营养不良,和其他非传染性疾病在黎巴嫩成年人中呈上升趋势。因此,评估该人群的食物消费习惯以了解饮食质量至关重要，分析消费趋势，并将它们与已知可降低非传染性疾病风险的健康饮食进行比较。
目的：为了评估食物消费模式，能量摄入，以及全国代表性的18-64岁黎巴嫩成年人样本中的宏观和微观营养素摄入量。
方法：2022年5月至9月进行了一项横断面研究，涉及来自黎巴嫩所有八个省的444名参与者。社会人口统计学和医学信息是通过问卷收集的，使用经过验证的FFQ和24小时召回评估食物消耗，并记录人体测量结果。
结果：明显缺乏对三种健康饮食的遵守（地中海，吃柳叶刀，美国农业部）在黎巴嫩成年人中。他们的饮食模式以高能量为特征，添加糖，钠,和饱和脂肪的摄入量，同时健康脂肪含量低，维生素A,D,E.成年女性每天钙含量不足，维生素D,铁,和维生素B12的需求，使他们患贫血的风险增加，骨质疏松,和其他健康问题。谷物和谷物是消耗最多的食物，大多数参与者被发现超重或肥胖。
结论：结论：结果强调了公共卫生政策和干预措施的必要性，旨在鼓励黎巴嫩成年人做出更健康的食物选择，并向地中海等饮食过渡，吃柳叶刀，或美国农业部的饮食。这些饮食已被证明可以促进整体健康和福祉。
