“…For example, during pre-contemplation, the perceived benefits of not eating FV outweigh the perceived risks. As the person progresses into the action and maintenance stages, the perceptions of the negative consequences of not eating FV overtake the positive ones (14)(15)(16)(17).…”

A B S T R A C TBackground and Objectives: Low Fruit/Vegetable (FV) diet seems to be a global public health problem. The trans-theoretical stages of change model have long been considered a useful interventional approach in lifestyle modification programs. The aim of this study was to find the most important intermediating factors of FV consumption in Mashhad, Iran. Materials and Methods:In this cross-sectional design, 777 participants were included with a convenient method from the general population in public places all around the Mashhad City, Iran in 2014. A standardized checklist about socio-demographic characteristics and possible related factors and stages of change questionnaire (6 stages: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparing, action, maintenance, and termination) were used for data collection. Data were analyzed by SPSS 11.5 software using Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Multiple Logistic Regression.Results: Totally, 254 (47.7%) and 299 (59.8%) of participants were in pre-action stages of FV, respectively. Smoking (OR=3.2, p=0.02) and believing that this is good for the body (OR=0.12, p=0.001) were predictors of the pre-contemplation stage for fruits. Being physically active (OR=2, p=0.008), low agreement with health benefits of vegetables (OR=8, p<0.001) and low agreement with "vegetables make more diet variability" (OR=4, p<0.005) were predictors of pre-contemplation stage for vegetables. Conclusions:Understanding the pros and cons of changing lifestyle can help public health specialists to perform targeted interventions.

Fruit consumption has continued to be of pivotal importance in health optimization. Unfortunately, data signifying same in many African sub-populations seem deficient or unreadily available. Hence, fruit consumption in relation with fruity response efficacy, gender, age, education, marital status and financial standing was surveyed among a group of civil servants of Nigeria. Five hundred and sixty-three copies of randomly administered questionnaires yielded data whose analyses reveal that fruity response efficacy and age are significantly related to fruit consumption (p<0.05) while gender, marital status, education and financial standing are not (p>0.05). Being older and improving perception of the role of fruit consumption in health optimization are associated with greater fruit consumption. Gender, marital status, general education and financial conditions were non determinants of this consumption.

Objective:The aim of this research was to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Processes of Change Scale for fruit and vegetable consumption in adolescents. Methods: The study population consisted of 6 th -8 th grade students (n=1516) in the second tier of the four elementary public education system in the district of Üsküdar/Istanbul. Data were collected March to May 2011, using by "socio demographic questionaire" and "The processes of change Scale" for vegetable and fruit consumption in adolescents. The scale reliability was evaluated in terms of internal consistency reliability and testretest reliability. Construct validity of the scales was assessed by using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis. Validity was assessed in terms of content and construct validity. Result: The all scale, internal consistency Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found .91, cognitive processes subscale .79, behavioral processes .90. Scale subscale item-total score correlations was found positive and statistically significant (p <.001). Test-retest reliability correlation was .81, found. Validity findings; content validity index was over .94 for all the scale and showed that good content. Exploratory factor analysis showed that the factor structure of the original compatible with all scales. Confirmatory Factor Analysis and goodness of fit value is (x 2 /sd ve SRMR) within acceptable values, and showed that the factor structure of the original verification. Conclusion: The consumption of fruit and vegetables, the process of change scale, the Turkish form of high reliability, has good content and construct validity.
