“…Increased availability of fruit and vegetables at home predicted higher intake of vegetables too. Such findings corroborate previous literature (Cook et al., 2015, Pearson et al., 2009), but extend it by also considering the role of accessibility and availability of ED snack foods as predictors of healthy food intake. Unsurprisingly, home availability of ED snack foods was a strong predictor of ED snack food intake, further reinforcing the importance of the physical environment in determining adolescents' eating behaviours.…”

“…Eating meals as a family and parental role modelling have both been associated with healthier adolescent eating behaviours (Fink et al., 2014, Gillman et al., 2000). Availability and accessibility of foods are powerful predictors of consumption, with greater availability and accessibility of fruits and vegetables being related to greater intake in children and adolescents (Cook et al., 2015, Loth et al., 2016, Pearson et al., 2009). Furthermore, not making unhealthy foods available or accessible, i.e.…”

This study aimed to examine individual, behavioural and home environmental factors associated with frequency of consumption of fruit, vegetables and energy-dense snacks among adolescents. Adolescents aged 11–12 years (n = 521, 48% boys) completed a paper-based questionnaire during class-time which included a Food Frequency Questionnaire assessing their consumption of fruit, vegetables, and energy-dense (ED) snacks, and items assessing habits, self-efficacy, eating at the television (TV), eating with parents, parenting practices, and home availability and accessibility of foods. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that eating fruit and vegetables while watching TV and home availability and accessibility of fruit and vegetables were positively associated with frequency of fruit consumption and vegetable consumption, while home accessibility of ED snack foods was negatively associated with frequency of fruit consumption. Habit for eating ED snack foods in front the TV, eating ED snack foods while watching TV, and home availability of ED snacks were positively associated with frequency of ED snack consumption. This study has highlighted the importance of a healthy home environment for promoting fruit and vegetable intake in early adolescents and also suggests that, if snacking while TV viewing occurs, this could be a good opportunity for promoting fruit and vegetable intake. These findings are likely to be useful for supporting the development of multi-faceted interventions and aid us in knowing what advice to give to parents to help them to help their young adolescents to develop and maintain healthy eating habits.

“…As highlighted, the identified FFQ varied considerably on comprehensiveness (number of items) and detail (use of broad terms like 'fruit' or 'vegetables' v. specific items). While cut-offs such as that used by Cook et al (151) may be applied, any judgement on comprehensiveness must be balanced against the purpose of the assessment; for example, is the aim is to examine dietary patterns overall, rather than focus specifically on health and disease associations with individual fruits and vegetables, and is there additional benefit to be gained from providing an exhaustive list? However, where broad terms are included, this needs to be supplemented with adequate explanation or an inventory of items intended to fall under these terms, to avoid the possibility of participant misunderstanding and consequently variation across countries and regions.…”

Evidence suggests that health benefits are associated with consuming recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables (F&V), yet standardised assessment methods to measure F&V intake are lacking. The current review aims to identify methods to assess F&V intake among children and adults in pan-European studies and inform the development of the DEDIPAC (DEterminants of DIet and Physical Activity) toolbox of methods suitable for use in future European studies.\ud A literature search was conducted using three electronic databases and by hand-searching reference lists. English-language studies of any design which assessed F&V intake were included in the review.\ud Studies involving two or more European countries were included in the review.\ud Healthy, free-living children or adults.\ud The review identified fifty-one pan-European studies which assessed F&V intake. The FFQ was the most commonly used (n 42), followed by 24 h recall (n 11) and diet records/diet history (n 7). Differences existed between the identified methods; for example, the number of F&V items on the FFQ and whether potatoes/legumes were classified as vegetables. In total, eight validated instruments were identified which assessed F&V intake among adults, adolescents or children.\ud The current review indicates that an agreed classification of F&V is needed in order to standardise intake data more effectively between European countries. Validated methods used in pan-European populations encompassing a range of European regions were identified. These methods should be considered for use by future studies focused on evaluating intake of F&V

“…Empirical studies have shown that availability and access to food are essential, but they are not the only factors that ensure household food and nutrition security (Brown & Funk, 2015; Cook, Reilly, Derosa, Rohrbach, & Spruijt‐metz, 2014; Ozor, Umunnakwe, & Acheampong, 2014). Nutritional knowledge and attitude have been shown to influence dietary practices and consequently the quantity and quality of nutrients derived from a given food item (Hoogenboom, Morris, Morris, & Schaefer, 2009; Sichert‐hellert et al., 2011).…”

Nutritional knowledge and attitude of a population greatly affect intake of essential micronutrients. Much of the understanding on the impact of nutritional knowledge and attitude on nutrient intake has been derived from studies conducted among affluent societies using commercial food products. However, information on the link between status of nutritional knowledge and attitude on intake of essential nutrients from wild fruits and vegetables among rural communities is largely lacking. This study examined the status of nutritional knowledge and attitude associated with intake of vitamin A and iron from wild fruits and vegetables among rural households in Acholi subregion of northern Uganda. A cross‐sectional study design making use of individual household questionnaire and proximate dietary recall of a calendar year consumption period involving 248 randomly selected rural households was applied. Results showed that households had good nutritional attitude but poor nutritional knowledge. Status of knowledge was dependent on nutrition training (p = 0.028; coefficient, β = 0.710) and age of the respondent (p = 0.044; β = −0.023), whereas status of attitude was predicted by age of the respondent (p = 0.014; β = 0.048). Consumption of wild fruits and vegetables contributed adequately to the dietary vitamin A and iron requirements of the households. The results have demonstrated that intake of vitamin A and iron from wild fruits and vegetables among rural households is associated with good nutritional attitude but poor nutritional knowledge. A concerted effort is necessary to improve household nutritional knowledge for better utilization of wild fruits and vegetables.
