摘要
BackgroundA low consumption of fruit and vegetables (F%26V) represents a high burden on health. The present study evaluates sociodemographic, lifestyle and anthropometric determinants of an inadequate consumption of F%26V (%26lt;5 servings per day). %26lt;br%26gt;MethodsParticipants were randomly selected within the adult Porto population (n=2485). Those with normal cognitive function and information on key variables were analysed (n=2362). Diet was assessed by a validated food frequency questionnaire. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by logistic regression, after sex stratification and controlling for age, education, marital status, smoking, regular physical exercise and total energy intake. %26lt;br%26gt;ResultsOlder women and men had 37% and 67%, respectively, lower odds of inadequate F%26V consumption (65 versus %26lt;40years: OR=0.63, 95% CI=0.42-0.94; OR=0.33, 95% CI=0.20-0.56). More educated subjects (%26gt;12 versus %26lt;5years) and those engaged in regular physical exercise had approximately 50% lower probability of F%26V inadequacy compared to nonpractitioners, and this was similar in both sexes. On the other hand, female and male current smokers had 1.86- and 2.05-fold higher probabilities of having inadequate F%26V consumption. Individuals consuming excessive alcohol (women: 15gday(-1); men: 30gday(-1)) presented a two- and four-fold higher probability of having inadequate F%26V consumption compared to nondrinkers (OR=1.95, 95% CI=1.38-2.77 in women; OR=4.40, 95% CI=2.70-7.18 in men). %26lt;br%26gt;ConclusionsIn both sexes, an inadequate consumption of F%26V was more frequently found in younger, less educated and less physically active subjects with smoking and drinking habits. Strategies aiming to increase F%26V consumption should consider these target groups that present a clustering of unhealthy lifestyles.
