Fruit and vegetable consumption increased in the decade following 1996, but the rise did not accelerate. Many people still do not consume the recommended five portions daily, indicating a need for further public health initiatives.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health Nutrition
  • Dietary Guidelines
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • National initiatives to boost fruit and vegetable intake were launched in the 1990s.
  • Official dietary recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption were established in 1996.
  • This study examines consumption trends before and after the 1996 recommendations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of official recommendations on fruit and vegetable consumption.
  • To identify changes in dietary patterns following the introduction of public health guidelines.
  • To assess population-level adherence to fruit and vegetable intake targets.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Food Balance Sheets and household consumption surveys.
  • Incorporated data from the WHO's "Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children" study.

  • Analyzed market surveys to track consumption trends before and after 1996.

    • Main Results:

    • Food supply and consumption data indicate a general increase in fruit and vegetable intake over the past decade.
    • The rate of increase post-1996 appears comparable to pre-1996 levels.
    • Significant increases in daily fruit and vegetable consumption were observed among adults between 1999 and 2005.

    Conclusions:

    • Determining an accelerated increase in consumption post-1996 is challenging, suggesting no clear trend break.
    • A substantial portion of the population did not meet daily fruit and vegetable intake recommendations in 2005.
    • Enhanced public health interventions are required to achieve the target of five daily portions of fruits and vegetables.
