Abstract: Objective: Characterising meat consumption in Switzerland across sociodemographic, lifestyle and anthropometric groups. Design: Representative national data from the menuCH survey (two 24-hour dietary recalls, anthropometric measurements and a lifestyle questionnaire) was used to analyse the total average daily intake of meat and main meat categories. Energy-standardised average intake (g/1000 kcal) was calculated and its association with 12 sociodemographic, lifestyle and anthropometric variables was investigated using multivariable linear regression. Setting: Switzerland. Participants: 2,057, aged 18-75 years old Results: Average total meat intake was 109 g/day, which included 43 g/day of processed meat, 37 g/day of red meat, and 27 g/day of white meat. Energy-standardised meat intake was highest for men, the Italian-language region, and the youngest age group (18-29 years). Regression results showed significantly lower total meat and red meat consumption (g/1000 kcal) for women than men. However, there were no sex-specific differences for white meat. Total meat and white meat consumption were positively associated with the 18-29 age group, compared to 30-44 years, non-Swiss compared to Swiss participants, and one-parent families with children compared to couples without children. Consumption of all categories of meat showed positive associations for BMI > 25kg/m2 compared to BMI 18.5-25kg/m2, and for French- and Italian-language regions compared to German language region. Conclusion: This study reveals that there are significant differences in the amounts and types of meat consumed in Switzerland, suggesting that evidence-based risks and benefits of these categories need to be emphasised more in meat consumption recommendations.
