“…These data were consistent with other published works (Elmadfa et al, 2005). Dietary fibre intake in Mediterranean countries comes from fresh fruit and vegetables, while in Northern European countries it comes more from cereals.…”

“…However, hardly any cross-European data on fruit and vegetable intake are available to date. In many European countries, the availability and supply of fruit and vegetables has been assessed based on food balance sheets or household budget surveys [18][19][20] . Intake surveys based on computer-assisted interviews [21,22] or other methods were conducted mostly at the national level in different European countries [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] .…”

Objective: To describe and compare fruit and vegetable intakes of mothers of 11-year-old children across Europe. Methods: Cross-sectional surveys were carried out in 9 European countries in October/November 2003. Self-administered questionnaires assessing fruit and vegetable consumption were used for data collection. The current paper presents dietary intake data obtained by a precoded 24-hour recall and a food frequency questionnaire. Results: The consumption levels of fruit and vegetables (without fruit juice) were in line with World Health Organization recommendations of ≧400 g/day for only 27% of all participating mothers. Based on both instruments, the Pro Children results showed comparatively high average fruit intake levels in Portugal, Denmark and Sweden (211, 203 and 194 g/day) and the lowest intake in Iceland (97 g/day). High vegetable intake levels were found in Portugal and Belgium (169 and 150 g/day), the lowest in Spain (88 g/day). A south-north gradient could not be observed in the Pro Children study. Conclusion: Fruit and vegetable intakes are low in mothers of 11-year-olds across Europe. Especially vegetable consumption can be regarded as marginal in most of the studied European countries. A high percentage of mothers indicated to eat fruit and vegetables less than once a day. The results have shown that national and international interventions are necessary to promote fruit and especially vegetable consumption in the European population of mothers.

“…Dietary intakes of selected nutrients are presented in table 8 for children, adolescents, adults and the elderly from different European Union countries [Elmadfa et al, 2004]. The information is from the European Nutrition and Health Report 2004, covering the period before May 2004, and shows ranges for intakes of protein, total fat, SFA and PUFA expressed as a percentage of total energy.…”
