Nutrition literacy is an important part of health literacy, as well as an significant factor to enhance the quality of population, improving the nutritional status of residents and preventing nutrition-related diseases. In 2010, China developed an evaluation tool for health literacy and began to monitor residents' health literacy. So far, eight national surveys on health literacy have been completed, providing an important basis for health promotion intervention strategies and related policies. However, in health literacy evaluation system, there is neither evaluation content of nutrition literacy, nor evaluation tools. In order to achieve the goals of "national nutrition plan (2017-2030)"and evaluate the implementation effect, it is urgent to carry out the assessment and monitoring of nutrition literacy. According to the nutritional characteristics of different populaitons, this research organizes national experts in related fields, following the principles of scientificity, conciseness and generality and through the scientific formulation procedures to construct the nutrition literacy assessment tools for different populations. This assessment tool can enhance the pertinence and scientificity of nutrition education and improve nutrition development strategy. The establishment of the nutrition literacy assessment tool is the premise of gradually establishing the nutrition literacy assessment system of the residents, and also lays a solid foundation for further conducting the national nutrition literacy evaluation work.
营养素养是健康素养的重要组成部分，也是提高人口素质、改善居民营养状况和防控营养相关慢性病的重要因素。2010年我国制定了健康素养的评价工具并开始了居民健康素养的监测工作，到目前为止已经开展了8次全国居民健康素养调查监测，为健康促进干预策略和相关政策提供重要依据。但是，在我国健康素养评价指标体系中缺乏对营养素养的评价内容，更没有制定评价工具。为了进一步落实《国民营养计划（2017—2030）》，评估实施效果，亟需开展营养素养的评估和监测。本课题组组织全国相关领域专家，根据不同人群营养特点，遵循信息科学、重点突出、广泛动员的原则，依照科学的制定程序初步构建了针对不同人群的营养素养评价工具。通过该评价工具可以提高我国营养教育工作的针对性和科学性，改善营养发展策略。该营养素养评价工具的构建是逐步建立居民营养素养评价体系的前提，也为进一步开展全民营养素养评价工作打下基础。.
