Abstract:

This was a cross-sectional study that aimed to analyze the associations between health conditions and inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables (FV) of 1.255 men and women served in Primary Healthcare Services in Belo Horizonte (MG). Data collection included FV consumption, socioeconomic status and health conditions. Results are presented in prevalence ratio (PR) and confidence interval of 95% (CI 95%). It was found 77.5% (CI 95%: 75.1%-79.8%) of inadequacy of consumption (<5 daily servings) and it was more prevalent among men (83.8%, CI 95%: 79.0%-88.5% vs. women: 76.0%, CI 95%: 73.4%-78.6%). For women, the inadequate consumption of FV was higher among those with poor health quality perception (PR: 1.37; CI 95%: 1.19-1.59) and among those who consider their dietary habits as being not healthy (PR: 1.15; CI 95%: 1.07-1.24). For men, the inadequate consumption was higher between individuals that reported 2 to 4 doctor’s visit in the year prior to the interview (PR: 1.21; CI 95%: 1.06-1.21). The conclusions showed that the consumption of FV among the population under study is below the recommendations and the health conditions are associated differently for different gender.
