    OBJECTIVE: To assess fruit and vegetable intake by adults and identify sociodemographic and life style variables associated with this intake. METHODS: A population-based cross-sectional study was performed in the urban area of the city of Ribeirão Preto, Southeastern Brazil, in 2006. Sample was selected using three-stage cluster sampling, with census tracts as primary units. Sample was comprised of 930 participants aged 30 years and more and the design effect was considered in data analysis. Fruit and vegetable intake was based on a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, using mean scores of frequency of fruit and vegetable intake, daily intake and minimum intake of such foods as indicators. The independent variables analyzed were as follows: age group, marital status, level of education, per capita household income, nutritional status, smoking and physical activity. Mean scores of frequency of intake were estimated by point and 95% confidence intervals. Prevalence ratios were also estimated by point and 95% confidence intervals to analyze association, using Poisson regression. Linear trend tests were applied, adopting a 5% confidence level. RESULTS: Only 24% of men and 38% of women met the minimum recommendation for fruit and vegetable intake; there was a positive association with age and per capita income. Women with a higher level of education and men who lived with a female partner consumed more fruits and vegetables than others. Physical activity, smoking and nutritional status were not associated with the minimum recommended fruit and vegetable intake. CONCLUSIONS: Socioeconomic factors have an important influence on fruit and vegetable intake and, as these are subject to intervention, they can contribute to the adoption of healthy eating habits.

    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2010-07-28) Nasser, Leila Adnan [UNIFESP]; Amancio, Olga Maria Silverio [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of a food and nutrition educational program in the increase of the consumption of vegetables by school children. Methods: This is a longitudinal randomized controlled study performed in 280 (two hundred and eighty) children, of both genders, aged between 11 (eleven) and 12 (twelve) years old, students of 03 (three) fundamental education schools of São Paulo city, from February to September 2007. At first, all students answered the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and than were divided randomly in two different groups: intervention and control group. After that, the intervention group was submitted to a Food and Nutritional Education Program based on ludo pedagogical activities. After 05 (five) months, the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was applied again, in order to verify the effectiveness of the food and nutritional education program in increasing the consumption of vegetables. Results: It was observed that in the interventional group, an increase of the consumption of vegetables was significantly bigger than in the control group, indicating that the ludo pedagogical activities may have influenced the children’s eating habit in a positive way. In the control group there were no significant changes. Regarding school children that didn’t have the habit of consuming vegetables, it was observed that in the intervention group the introduction of the consumption of different kinds of vegetable (chard/cabbage, beet, avocado, papaya, mango and strawberry), was greater then in the control group, indicating that the educational intervention method may also have influenced this change. Conclusion: The food and nutrition education based on ludo pedagogical activities is effective in relation to vegetables, both for increasing the previously consumed amount and for the acceptance of different vegetables by school children.
