“…Yet, the amount of decline was not large (6•5 %), and vegetables remain an important component of the Korean diet. In comparison, vegetable intake for adults decreased in the USA in the 1988-2002 time period (16) , as well as in Hong Kong from 2004 to 2016 (for ages 45-64 years old) (17) . However, the decrease from 289•1 to 270•3 g/d in Korea is still greater in this research than the ≥240 g/d estimated globally (18) .…”

Vegetables are an important source for the essential vitamins and minerals that are necessary for optimal health. This research investigated changes in vegetable intake over time in the Korean population from 1998 to 2017, focusing on preparation methods of vegetables and location of consumption. This cross-sectional study is based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) that was established in 1998 to assess the health and nutritional status of the South Korean population. This research utilized information from 1998 to 2017 which is the extent of all available KNHANES data. Vegetable consumption was grouped, according to preparation methods and common eating locations. Both crude and age-standardized means of vegetable intake were derived via a 24-hour dietary recall. All participants who completed a 24-hour dietary recall survey were selected for the analyses. This included 109,220 individuals (49,069 men and 60,151 women) over the course of 20 years of the KNHANES. Total vegetable intake decreased over time (p for trends <0.001), specifically, steamed and salted vegetables (p for trends <0.001). In contrast, Koreans consumed noticeably more raw vegetables from 1998 to 2017 (p for trends <0.001). Vegetable intake at home significantly declined (p for trends <0.001), while that eaten at restaurants or outside the home increased greatly (p for trends <0.001). Over 20 years, Koreans have ingested decreasing amounts of vegetables, but the intake of raw vegetables has escalated. However, the location of vegetable consumption has changed, with an increase at both restaurants and outside the home (≍ 70.0%).

“…Fruit and dairy products are high in vitamins and minerals [ 26 ] and have been reported to be associated with adequate nutrient intake [ 42 , 43 ]. Reports on the trend in fruit intake in other countries have been inconsistent [ 44 , 45 , 46 ]. Fruit intake increased over time in the U.S. [ 44 ], whereas a decreasing trend was observed in Hong Kong [ 45 ] and Canada [ 46 ].…”

Unlike in many industrialised countries, the high proportion of young women who are underweight in Japan has been a long-term problem. We evaluated trends in food group intake according to body size among young Japanese women using data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey 2001–2019. Overall, 13,771 Japanese women aged 20–39 years were included. A 1-day household-based dietary record was used to estimate food intake. Foods were classified into 34 groups based on the Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan. The trend of food group intake was analysed using the Joinpoint Regression Program. The proportion of young women who were underweight was consistently around 20%, while obesity among young women increased between 2001 (10%) and 2019 (13%). A decreased trend in fish and shellfish and seaweed intake and an increased trend in meat and soft drink intake were observed among young women. Decreased trends in the intake of fruit and dairy products were observed in young women who were not obese. An increased trend in the intake of confectionaries was observed in young women who were obese. This study suggests that the types of unhealthy eating habits may differ according to body size among young Japanese women.

“…Hong Kong’s Department of Health, in line with the World Health Organization’s guideline, recommends at least five servings of FV per day. However, the Population Health Survey 2014/2015 found that 94.4% of Hong Kong’s people consumed less [ 11 ], as did over 89% of adults in the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveys between 2004 and 2016 [ 12 ]. The downward fruit intake trends observed among both females and males across all ages are a public health concern [ 12 ].…”

We conducted a cluster randomised controlled trial of parents in 56 primary schools and community service centres (clusters) to evaluate the effectiveness of a single-session workshop on promoting more fruit and vegetable (FV) intake. A total of 803 parents were randomised to the FV intervention arm (16 clusters, n = 197), the more appreciation control arm (19 clusters, n = 270), or the less criticism control arm (21 clusters, n = 336). The FV intake of the FV arm was compared with that of the combined more appreciation or less criticism (MALC) arm. Both arms received a 2 h workshop: (i) the FV arm on increasing FV consumption and related food literacy; (ii) the MALC arm on increasing appreciation or reducing criticism of children. Primary outcomes were FV consumption per day in the past week assessed at baseline, 2-weeks, and 6-weeks. Secondary outcomes were behavioural determinants proposed by the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA), including outcome expectancies, self-efficacy, intention, and planning behaviour. The FV arm had a greater increase in FV consumption than the MALC arm, with large effect sizes (d: 0.97–1.08) and improvements in behavioural determinants with small effect sizes at all time points (d: 0.19–0.43). Our study was the first population-based randomised controlled trial to show that a brief, single 2 h HAPA-based workshop was effective in promoting fruit and vegetable intake in parents.
