Abstract:

This study aimed to verify the association between perceived barriers to consumption of fruits (CF) and vegetables (CV) with demographic characteristics. A cross-sectional study was performed (n = 877 people with ≤44 years of a medium-sized Brazilian city). We investigated five barriers to CF and CV. Binary logistic regression analysis adjusted for demographic variables was used in data analysis. \"Cost weighs in the family budget\" was the most prevalent barrier (CF 57.7%, CV 49.9%), with a greater chance of the CF barrier in women and people with lower educational level (0-4 years/study). In CV “cost” has a great chance in women, people with lower educational level and economic level B/C. “Family has no habit” was cited for 16.4% (CF) and 10.9% (CV), with a greater chance for people aged 50-59 years in CF. “Do not have time to buy fresh food” cited by 8.0% (CF) and 7.6% (CV), a greater chance of the CF barrier in women and unmarried individuals. \"Need to prepare\", cited by 7.6% for CF, greater chance for those aged under 60 years and CV (9.7%), higher in women. “Not liking the taste” (6.2% CF, 6.6% CV), with a greater chance of black/brown/indigenous.
