Low Consumption

Background:The low consumption of fruits and vegetables is one of the risk factors for death in the world. Indonesia is a country that is rich in fruits and vegetables but has a low consumption level. The lowest age group in consuming fruit and vegetables is adolescents.Purpose:The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that influence fruit and vegetable consumption behavior in adolescents based on the Health Promotion Model Nola J. Pender.Methodology: This study used a descriptive-analyticcross-sectional study design involving 249 adolescents. The data was collected using a questionnaire to measure the factors that influence fruit and vegetable consumption behavior and food frequency questionnaire. The questionnaires were distributed online via social media for two weeks. Data were analyzed using linear regression.Result:Factors that influence fruit and vegetable consumption behavior in adolescents are resistance to action (p = 0.05), self-efficacy (p <0.001), parental interpersonal influence (p <0.001), and peer influence (p = 0.05). Ethnic factors, knowledge of benefits, and the environment do not have a significant effect on fruit and vegetable consumption behavior among adolescents. There are still 93.4% other factors that also influence fruit and vegetable consumption behavior in adolescents.To promote healthy consumption behavior of fruit and vegetable in adolescents we should increase the self-efficacy of adolescents, involved parents and peer groups as a role model for healthy behavior.

Decision Making Processes

Abstract I reflect upon the potential reasons why American low-income households do not spend an optimal proportion of their food budgets on fruits and vegetables, even though this would allow them to meet the recommended levels of fruit and vegetable consumption. Other priorities than health, automatic decision-making processes and access to healthy foods play a role, but solutions for the persistent socio-economic inequalities in diet should be sought in the wider food system which promotes cheap, mass-produced foods. I argue that, ultimately, healthy eating is not a matter of prioritisation by individual households but by policymakers.

High Fiber

Higher dietary fiber intakes during pregnancy may have the potential health benefits of increasing gut microbiome diversity, lowering the risk of glucose intolerance and pre-eclampsia, achieving appropriate gestational weight gain, and preventing constipation. In this observational cohort study, we have assessed the dietary fiber intakes of 804 women in late pregnancy, using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Overall, the median (interquartile range) dietary fiber intake was 24.1 (19.0–29.7) grams per day (g/day). Only 237/804 (29.5%) women met the recommended Adequate Intake (AI) of dietary fiber during pregnancy of 28 g/day. Women consuming the highest quartile of fiber intakes (34.8 (IQR 32.1–39.5) g/day) consumed more fruit, especially apples and bananas, than women consuming the lowest quartile of fiber intakes (15.9 (IQR 14.4–17.5) g/day). These women in the highest fiber-intake quartile were older (p < 0.01), more had completed further education after secondary school (p = 0.04), and they also consumed more vegetables (67 g/day) compared to the women in the lowest fiber consumption quartile (17 g vegetables/day). Bread intakes of 39–42 g/day were consistent in quantities consumed across all four fiber-intake quartiles. Our findings suggest that antenatal education advice targeting increased fruit and vegetable consumption before and during pregnancy may be a simple strategy to achieve increased total dietary fiber intakes to reach recommended quantities.
