“…There is increasing recognition of the importance of identifying the psychosocial influences on dietary behaviors for designing effective intervention programs [19]. However, there is limited evidence from Japan that addresses the psychosocial determinants of fruit/vegetable consumption and their relations to daily consumption; only a few small-scale studies have reported positive associations of self-efficacy, social support, and economic efficiency with vegetable intake, in which the study populations were limited to university students, the elderly, and women [20,21,22,23]. Little is known about the association of attitudes, knowledge, responsibility, and perceived barriers with fruit/vegetable intake.…”

There is limited evidence in Japan regarding the psychosocial determinants of fruit/vegetable intake. We performed a cross-sectional study of people aged 18 years or older in four regions of Japan; 2308 (men: 1012, women: 1296) individuals who completed the questionnaires were included. We found that 24.8% of people were aware of the current recommendations for vegetables and 13.2% for fruit and that “ability to design meals” and “availability when eating outside of the home” were the most important factors related to self-efficacy and barriers to fruit and vegetable intake, respectively. People with high self-efficacy (OR: 3.16; 95% CI: 2.17, 4.60 for fruit; OR: 4.52; 95% CI: 3.08, 6.64 for vegetables) were more likely to consume more fruit and vegetables. People with high scores on attitude (OR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.06, 2.24) and social support (OR: 1.59; 95% CI: 1.11, 2.27) were more likely to consume more fruit. People with high perceived barriers (OR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.48, 0.98) were less likely to consume fruit. This study suggests a need to increase the general population’s awareness of the fruit and vegetable intake recommendations; facilitating positive attitudes, self-efficacy, and social support for individuals and strengthening the ability of individuals to design meals with more vegetables and fruit might be useful intervention programs.

“…Additionally, the correlation of dietary intake between a mother and child is stronger than that between a father and child in many countries,14, 15, 16 and a mother's dietary habits might affect those of her children throughout their lives 17 . Investigating the dietary intake among young women and clarifying the factors that affect their diet, including living status, is important to propose dietary strategies for the health of not only young women themselves but also for the next generation.…”

BackgroundLiving status (e.g., living with family or alone) may affect dietary habits. We compared nutritional adequacy according to living status and the frequency of eating out-of-home foods in young Japanese women.MethodsFemale dietetic students (aged 18–20 years; n = 4,017) participated in a cross-sectional multicenter study, which was conducted in 85 dietetic schools in 35 of 47 prefectures in Japan. Habitual dietary intake was assessed with a validated diet history questionnaire. Nutritional adequacy was determined based on the Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese, 2015, for two goals: preventing non-communicable chronic disease (a tentative dietary goal for preventing lifestyle-related diseases [DG] that tracks five nutrients) and avoiding insufficient intake of mainly vitamins and minerals (estimated average requirement [EAR] that tracks 14 nutrients).ResultsWomen living with their family were less likely to meet DG nutrient levels, but more likely to meet EAR nutrient levels compared with those living alone. In contrast, women living alone had more inadequate nutrients with EAR and fewer nutrients with not-meeting DG than those living with families. A higher frequency of eating out-of-home was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of not-meeting DG nutrient levels only in the women living with their family.ConclusionsThe prevalence of nutritional adequacy varied based on living status. In addition, women living with their family and those with a high frequency of eating out-of-home foods had the highest prevalence of not-meeting DG. Effective ways of improving dietary quality among young Japanese women differ by living status.

“…Social support is considered as a potential moderator of the associations between motivation and F&V intake (McSpadden, 2016). A multicenter cross-sectional study in Japan (Kobayashi, Asakura, Suga, & Sasaki, 2015) also demonstrated perceived family support positively associated with F&V intake. Thus, promoting social support from family members and friends might be one of the effective strategies of forward stage transition for F&V intake.…”

“…Many studies have shown the psychological factors and the stages of readiness to change are related to F&V intakes (Havas et al, 1998;Watters, Satia, & Galanko, 2007;Shaikh, Yaroch, Nebeling, Yeh, & Resnicow, 2008). A few studies in Japan have demonstrated that positive attitudes, self-efficacy, social support, and perceived barrier were associated with daily F&V intakes (Kobayashi, Asakura, Suga, & Sasaki, 2015;Okamoto, Nakao, & Muto, 2015;Kato, 2011;Kato, Watanabe, Haga, Imada, & Osada, 2014;Wang et al, 2016). However, there is limited evidence from Japan that addresses the association of the stage of behavioral change with daily F&V intake as well as with psycho-social factors among general population.…”

OBJECTIVE: Thhis study aimed to investigate the reason why people choose to consume less vegetable and fruit through examining how the stage of change and psycho-social parameters relate to vegetable and fruit intake. METHODS: We carried out a cross-sectional study in 4 regions of Japan in which 2308 individuals (1012 men and 1296 women) aged 18 years or older who completed the questionnaires were included in the study. RESULTS: The results showed 56% of the participants were in the precontemplation stage (not thinking about consuming recommended amount of fruit and vegetable) and their average amounts of vegetable and fruit intake were far below the level of current recommendations, and subjects in the precontemplation stage showed lower scores of attitude and self efficacy. Men were more likely to be in precontemplation (67.7%) and less likely to be in action/maintenance stage (7.9%) than women (46.9%, 12.1%, respectively) (p < 0.001). We also observed the scores of attitude (p = 0.06) and self-efficacy (p < 0.01) rose as the stage went up from the precontemplation to action/maintenance for increasing vegetable and fruit intake. Moreover, a linear trend was found toward higher vegetable (p < 0.05) and fruit (p = 0.121) intake from precontemplation to action/maintenance stage. CONCLUSION: The present evidence suggests more attention should be focused on strategy for perceptions of personal need for recommended amount of vegetable and fruit intake for those who are in the precontemplation stage. Moreover, effective programs on enhancement of self-efficacy and attitude toward vegetable and fruit consumption are needed for increasing the vegetable and fruit intake.
