“…9 A recent study with a sample of adults from the municipality of São Paulo, which examined fruit and vegetable intake using short questions in telephone interviews, showed a significant association between level of schooling and intake of these food items for both sexes. 6 In the present study, inadequate fruit and vegetable intake was strongly associated with the elderly individuals' low level of schooling and low income ranges. According to Jaime et al 8 (2007), the estimates are that the fruit and vegetable intake in Brazil corresponds to less than half of the nutritional recommendations, mainly in low income families.…”

“…5,7,13,[18][19][20] Our study used FFQ to assess the fruit and vegetable intake and the results were consistent with those obtained by Brazilian investigations that used short questions. 6,9 Therefore, we believe that the use of the FFQ in the present work did not influence the assessment of the level of fruit and vegetable intake and allowed a more accurate identification of the consumed food items. A positive aspect of the present study is the fact that, for the 89 participants who could not answer the questionnaires due to serious mental disability, the information on fruit and vegetable intake was provided by their informants, increasing the sample's representativeness regarding the participants' health condition.…”

“…2,6,9,10,14 Jaime & Monteiro 9 (2005) investigated the fruit and vegetable intake in a national probabilistic sample composed of 5,000 individuals, including elderly people. These authors used short questions to obtain information on the intake of these food items and their results were similar to the ones of the present study, with 20.6% of the women meeting the WHO recommendations, but only 14.8% of the men.…”

“…9,12 Other factors have also been associated with the Brazilian elderly individuals' low fruit and vegetable intake, such as: low schooling, inappetence, difficulties in acquiring and preparing the food and presence of chronic diseases. 2,6 Few Brazilian studies have investigated the dietary patterns of elderly individuals, and research focusing on fruit and vegetable intake is even scarcer. A populationbased study which used a food frequency questionnaire with 283 elderly people from three regions of the municipality of São Paulo showed that the fruit and vegetable intake increased as the socioeconomic level of the regions increased.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the socioeconomic and sociodemographic factors associated with the daily intake of five servings of fruit and vegetables by elderly individuals living in low income areas, identifying the main fruits and vegetables which compose the diet of this population.METHODS: This is a cross-sectional population-based study with 2,066 low income elderly individuals (≥60 years) living in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, in 2003. To assess the fruit and vegetable intake a Food Frequency Questionnaire was administered. The answers were transformed into daily intake and compared with the recommendations of the World Health Organization (five or more servings per day). The relationship between recommended fruit and vegetable intake and socioeconomic variables was analyzed using logistic regression models. RESULTS:Of the participants, 60.5% were women and 39.5% were men. Approximately one third of the elders (n=723; 35.0%) did not consume any kind of fruit or vegetable on a daily basis and 19.8% reported a daily intake of five or more servings of fruits and vegetables. This intake was positively associated with income and years of schooling.

Article based on the doctoral dissertation of R TASSITANO entitled "Impacto de uma intervenção para o aumento da atividade física e consumo de A B S T R A C T ObjectiveTo analyze whether psychosocial factors and physical activity are predictors of fruit and vegetable intake in young adults attending college. MethodsThis cross-sectional study included a representative sample of students from a public university in the Brazilian Northeast (n=717). Fruit and vegetable intake was measured by a Food Frequency Questionnaire containing 21 items. The psychosocial factors for behavior change, measured by a questionnaire, were: behavior change strategy, self-efficacy, perceived barriers and facilitators in decision making, and social support. The level ofRev. Nutr., Campinas, 29(2):173-183, mar./abr., 2016 Revista de Nutrição http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1678-98652016000200003 physical activity was measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression was the intake prediction model using a significance level of 5% (p<0.05). ResultsThe median fruit and vegetable intake was 2.0 servings/day. In adjusted analysis, behavior change strategy (R²=0.31), self-efficacy (R²=0.03), friends' support (R²=0.02), and physical activity (R²=0.03) explained 39% of the fruit and vegetable intake variance in men. Behavior change strategy (R²=0.03), self-efficacy (R²=0.13), perceived barriers (R²=0.08), and physical activity (R²=0.02) explained 26% of the fruit and vegetable intake variance in women. Fruit and vegetable intake would increase by one serving for every extra 35 and 47 minutes of physical activity men and women, respectively, practice a day. ConclusionThe main predictors of fruit and vegetable intake are behavior change strategies, self-efficacy, and physical activity.Keywords: Food consumption. Motor activity. Students.
