“…The dimension of availability was quantified by the presence of F&V in food stores measured by perception surveys and store audit methods (n = 15) ( Alber et al, 2018 , Blitstein et al, 2012 , Chor et al, 2016 , Curl et al, 2013 , Drisdelle et al, 2020 , Duran et al, 2016 , Gustafson et al, 2013a , Gustafson et al, 2013b , Jilcott Pitts et al, 2017 , Liese et al, 2013 , Lucan et al, 2014 , Lucan and Mitra, 2012 , Martin et al, 2012 , Menezes et al, 2018 , Flint et al, 2013 ). 9 of the 15 studies identified a relationship between increased availability of F&V in the food outlet and a higher daily consumption of F&V (n = 9) ( Blitstein et al, 2012 ; Chor et al, 2016 ; Curl et al, 2013 ; ; Duran et al, 2016 ; Gustafson et al, 2013b Liese et al, 2013 ; Lucan and Mitra, 2012 ; Martin et al, 2012 ; Menezes et al, 2018 ). One study reported possible bias due to high collinearity between the availability and variety of F&V in the RFE ( Duran et al, 2016 ).…”

The consumption of fruit and vegetables (F&V) is important for human health to protect against non-communicable disease and micronutrient deficiency. Increasing consumption of F&V may also benefit planetary health if these foods are substituted for foods with higher environmental footprints such as red meat or dairy. The retail food environment (RFE) is an influential junction between the food system and individual diets as it drives access to F&V through external (physical access) and personal (availability, affordability, acceptability) domains. We performed a systematic search of six literature databases (January 2021) for studies assessing access to F&V in the RFE and its association with F&V consumption in adults in high- and upper-middle income countries. 36 studies were identified and categorised by dimensions of food access – accessibility, affordability, acceptability, availability and accommodation. More than half of the studies (n = 20) were based in the USA. F&V accessibility was the most commonly reported dimension (n = 29); no study reported on accommodation. 6 studies were rated to be high quality. A positive association of increased availability of F&V options in the RFE with intake was identified in 9 of 15 studies. Associations in both acceptability and accessibility dimensions were inconsistent. No association was observed between F&V affordability and consumption although available data were limited. Many challenges exist to building a robust evidence base within food environment research including conceptual, definitional and methodological heterogeneity and measurement standardisation. Future food policies should consider multi-dimensional interventions to promote access to F&V in the RFE across all domains.

“…Low perceived food environments were considered when the answers to all questions about fruit and vegetable availability (variety, quality and price) were 'no'. foods, which, in turn, can also modulate residents' eating behaviour or shape their food preferences (40)(41)(42)(43)(44) .…”

Objective:To examine associations between economic residential segregation and prevalence of healthy and unhealthy eating markers.Design:Cross-sectional. A stratified sample was selected in a three-stage process. Prevalence of eating markers and their 95 % CI were estimated according to economic residential segregation: high (most segregated); medium (integrated) and low (less segregated or integrated). Segregation was measured at the census tract and assessed using the Getis–Ord local $G_i^{\rm{\ast}}$ statistic based on the proportion of heads of household in a neighbourhood earning a monthly income of 0–3 minimum wages. Binary logistic regression using generalized estimating equations were used to model the associations.Setting:Belo Horizonte, Brazil.Participants:Adults (n 1301) residing in the geographical environment (178 census tracts) of ten units of the Brazilian primary-care service known as the Health Academy Program.Results:Of the 1301 participants, 27·7 % lived in highly segregated neighbourhoods, where prevalence of regular consumption of fruit was lower compared with more affluent areas (34·6 v. 53·2 %, respectively). Likewise, regular consumption of vegetables (70·1 v. 87·6 %), fish (23·6 v. 42·3 %) and replacement of lunch or dinner with snacks (0·8 v. 4·7 %) were lower in comparison to more affluent areas. In contrast, regular consumption of beans was higher (91·0 v. 79·5 %). The associations of high-segregated neighbourhood with consumption of vegetables (OR = 0·62; 95 % CI 0·39, 0·98) and beans (OR = 1·85; 95 % CI 1·07, 3·19) remained significant after adjustments.Conclusions:Economic residential segregation was associated with healthy eating markers even after adjustments for individual-level factors and perceived food environment.

“…F&V have a particular nutritional importance since they are low in calories in proportion to the amount required by the body and have a high nutritional value due to being rich in vitamins and minerals (AICR, 2008). An estimated 5.6 and 7.8 million premature deaths worldwide in 2013 may be attributable to a F&V intake below amount recommended by the World Health Organization (500 and 800 g/day), respectively (Aune et al, 2017) Plenty of factors are involved in F&V intake inequality, including behavioral, social, cultural and economic factors, such as education level, place of residence and income, which play different roles in different societies (De Menezes et al, 2018;Liu et al, 2018;Schreinemachers et al, 2018). The reduced consumption of high-quality essential foods, such as F&V reduces the intake of micronutrients that are necessary for the proper and timely functioning of the body (Bock et al, 2018).…”

Does socioeconomic status affect fruit and vegetable intake? Evidence from a cross-sectional analysis of the RaNCD Cohort

The purpose of this study is to investigate socioeconomic inequality in fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake and contributing factors. Data of 9981 participants from the recruitment phase of Ravansar Non-Communicable Diseases (RaNCD) cohort study were included in the final analysis. The concentration index was calculated to measure the inequality. The prevalence of adequate F&V intake was 55.8% and concentration index was 0.178, indicating that more people in the higher SES group are consuming enough F&V. Place of residence, followed by SES, had the greatest contribution to F&V intake inequality in the west of Iran. It is suggested that villagers and the poor be the target group for interventions to increase fruit and vegetable access.
