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

“…In the eastern Mediterranean region, Iron deficiency anaemia is an important public health concern [23]. In central and western Europe, unhealthy food habits and inappropriate weight was observed among medical students [24,25]. In Egypt, a cross sectional study found majority of students were overweight and obese due to improper food habits and low physical activity [26].…”

Objective: Dietary assessment to describe eating practices and asses the nutritional status of students in relation to the cognitive performance of students by Mini-Mental State Examination. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a food frequency questionnaire, Mini mental state examination, anthropometric measurements, and blood analysis for measuring hemoglobin(Hb) and glucose levels. Third year medical students of Oman medical college Sohar campus (Sample size, N=80) were involved in this study. Statistical Analysis was done using the food frequency, MMSE and blood analysis data to study the dietary patterns, nutrition status and cognitive performance of the students. Results: The data revealed low intake of legumes, eggs and red meat (mutton/beef), hence low protein intake by majority of students. 47.5% of the students consumed only two meals in a day. 20.9% of the students were underweight, 13.4% were overweight and 9% were obese. Physical inactivity was present in 51.2% of the students. Low hemoglobin (Hb<12mg/dl) and low glucose level (<3.9mmol/L) was observed in 32% and 28.7% of study sample respectively. Low MMSE score among 11.6% subjects indicated mild cognitive impairment. A significant correlation existed between MMSE and glucose level (p<0.05). Conclusion: A strategy is required to monitor the nutrition of young Omani adults in order to improve health status and prevent deficiency diseases. There is an urgent requirement to promote healthy food choices and lifestyle among medical students.
