A Global and Some National Perspectives on the Current Evidence of Interventions on Fruit and Vegetable Intake in Low-, Middle-, and High-Income Countries
Scoping review highlights that interventions in low-, middle-, and high-income countries may improve intake, suggesting effective strategies are needed.
Key Points
About half of reviewed interventions reported a significant increase in fruit and vegetable intake.
Multicomponent strategies were effective in 61% of cases and interventions targeting F&V saw a 72% success rate.
There is a critical lack of national-level intervention trial data, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
Evidence underscores the need for tailored strategies to enhance fruit and vegetable intake across diverse settings.
