Frank SM, et al. - Among subjects aged ≥ 15 years (n=193,606) in 28 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), researchers evaluated the proportion meeting the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation of 400-g/day intake of fruits and vegetables (the equivalent of ∼5 servings/day) for the prevention of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), and assessed socio-demographic predictors—including age, sex, and educational attainment—of meeting the WHO recommendation. Overall, the intake of fruits and vegetables among > 80% of individuals aged 15 years or older living in these 28 LMICs was lower than the WHO recommendation. However, the investigators did note that the proportion of individuals meeting the recommendation rose with increasing country gross domestic product class and decreasing country FAO food prince index. They also found the chance of achieving the recommendation was greater among those with secondary education or greater vs subjects with no formal education. The authors concluded that the observed inequities in consumption and prevention of NCDs urgently call for policies to promote fruit and vegetable consumption in LMICs.
