EditorialIncreasing fruit and vegetable intake: where are we at and how do we reach recommendations?As rich sources of micronutrients, dietary fibre and other favourable substances, such as antioxidants, fruit and vegetables (F&V) are important elements of a healthy and balanced diet. However, population consumption of F&V remains inadequate (1) , independently increasing the risk of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes and several cancers (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) . Low F&V consumption is among the top contributors to global death and disability, and estimated to be responsible for approximately 6.7 million deaths worldwide in 2010, compared with 5.1 million in 1990 (9) . Fruit and vegetable intake and supplyAs part of a healthy diet, the WHO suggests consuming a minimum of 400 g or five servings of F&V per day to improve overall health and reduce the risk of certain noncommunicable diseases (10) . Recent evidence suggests that a higher number of servings might increase health benefits even further (11) . Increasing individual F&V consumption to up to 600 g/d could reduce the global burden of disease by 1·8 % (12) . The majority of adults globally would have to at least double their current F&V consumption to meet the WHO's minimum recommendation (13) . A study using data from 2003 showed that 77·6 % of men and 78·4 % of women from fifty-two mainly low-and middle-income countries consumed less than the minimum recommended five daily servings of F&V (1) . The determinants of low F&V intake vary and include a strong social gradient (14) and local access and availability (14) . Wolnicka et al. (15) show in this issue that factors within the family environment such as parents' dietary habits and F&V availability have a great influence on children's F&V consumption.A study using data from 2009 found that the global supply of F&V falls, on average, 22 % (34 % when considering food wastage) short of population needs, and this varies from 58 % to 13 % across low-and upper-middle-income countries. High-income countries appear to have sufficient F&V supply (16) . These large differences between countries may be due to a range of factors, such as producer-end subsidies for other crops, adequacy of distribution systems (increasing F&V wastage), increasing population size, international trade, and the exclusion of subsistence farming and food production from the aforementioned figures.An estimated F&V supply gap of 34 % and 43 % has been projected for years 2025 and 2050, respectively, with widening gaps between high-/middle-income and low-income countries, if current production levels remain constant (16) .

“…Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide [1] and diet is known to play a pathogenic role in CVD development [2]. Fruit and vegetables (FV) represent the most botanically diverse food group with potential bioactive properties believed to offer vascular protection [3].…”

“…A minimum intake of 400g FV per day (equivalent to 5 portions excluding potatoes) is recommended as an effective strategy for primary CVD prevention [4], which is supported by observational data [5] and confirmed by meta-analyses [6,7]. While an effect of increased FV intake on CVD events has yet to be demonstrated, there is some evidence of a beneficial effect of increased FV intake on known markers of CVD risk [2] including vascular function [8].…”

Objective:The aim of this research was to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Processes of Change Scale for fruit and vegetable consumption in adolescents. Methods: The study population consisted of 6 th -8 th grade students (n=1516) in the second tier of the four elementary public education system in the district of Üsküdar/Istanbul. Data were collected March to May 2011, using by "socio demographic questionaire" and "The processes of change Scale" for vegetable and fruit consumption in adolescents. The scale reliability was evaluated in terms of internal consistency reliability and testretest reliability. Construct validity of the scales was assessed by using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis. Validity was assessed in terms of content and construct validity. Result: The all scale, internal consistency Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found .91, cognitive processes subscale .79, behavioral processes .90. Scale subscale item-total score correlations was found positive and statistically significant (p <.001). Test-retest reliability correlation was .81, found. Validity findings; content validity index was over .94 for all the scale and showed that good content. Exploratory factor analysis showed that the factor structure of the original compatible with all scales. Confirmatory Factor Analysis and goodness of fit value is (x 2 /sd ve SRMR) within acceptable values, and showed that the factor structure of the original verification. Conclusion: The consumption of fruit and vegetables, the process of change scale, the Turkish form of high reliability, has good content and construct validity.
