Socio-demographic and socio-economic differences in fruit and vegetable consumption [Elektronski vir] : a representative study of Slovenian youth = Sociodemografske in socioekonomske razlike v uživanju sadja in zelenjave : reprezentativna raziskava slovenske mladineKirbiš, Andrej, 1982- ...Fruit and vegetable consumption is an important determinant of health and life expectancy. Past research shows that Slovenian adolescents do not consume sufficient amounts of fruit and vegetable. The ... aim of this study was to analyse the frequency and to examine socio- demographic and socio-economic differences in fruit and vegetable consumption using a nationally representative sample of youth in Slovenia aged 16-27 years. We analysed survey data from the FES-CEPYUS Slovenian Youth 2013 Study (N=907; M(age)= 21.9; 48.3% women). Two indicators of dietary habits were analysed: the number of fruit servings and the number of vegetable servings consumed daily (1="do not eat fruit/vegetable"; 8="6 or more servings daily"). A relative majority of young people reported consuming only one serving of fruit daily (28.8%) and one serving of vegetable daily (32.3%). On average, respondents consumed 3.62 servings of combined fruit and vegetable daily and only 33% consumed 5 or more servings daily. Chi-square tests indicated that fruit and vegetable intake was higher among women (compared to men) and among youth from high-status families (compared to low- and middle-status families), while other socio-demographic and socio- economic differences were not statistically significant. Two thirds of young people in Slovenia do not consume the recommended daily amounts of fruit and vegetable. The results of this study provide a basis for programmes and measures for raising fruit and vegetable consumption among young people, which should especially focus on young men and youth from low-status families, also by emphasizing the beneficial health effects of fruit and vegetable consumption.Source: Zbornik prispevkov [Elektronski vir] : druga znanstvena konferenca z mednarodno udeležbo = Proceedings : second scientific conference with international participation (Str. 29-38)Type of material - conference contribution ; adult, seriousPublish date - 2014Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 20870664
