Estudo transversal, baseado em dados do sistema de monitoramento por inquérito telefônico – VIGITEL, com o objetivo de estimar a prevalência e fatores associados ao consumo recomendado de frutas, legumes e verduras (FLV) em 6696 indivíduos com idade ≥ 18 anos, de ambos os sexos, residentes na Região Centro-Oeste do Brasil, em 2012. O consumo recomendado foi a variável dependente e variáveis sociodemográficas, comportamentais e relacionadas à saúde foram as independentes. A prevalência do consumo recomendado de FLV foi de 26,3%, sendo maior entre as mulheres (RPaj= 1,44; IC95%= 1,29–1,62). A regressão de Poisson entre o desfecho e variáveis independentes mostrou maior prevalência do consumo recomendado entre as mulheres residentes no Distrito Federal, casadas e que consideravam seu estado de saúde como bom/muito bom. Em ambos os sexos, observou-se associação direta do desfecho com a escolaridade, idade e prática de atividade física e associação inversa com o consumo de alimentos não saudáveis. Devido a baixa prevalência do consumo recomendado de FLV na população da Região Centro-Oeste do Brasil no ano de 2012, propõe-se que as estratégias de intervenção para melhorar o consumo desses alimentos sejam feitas de forma globalizada.

Abstract:
This is a cross-sectional study based on datathe national telephone survey – VIGITEL, aiming to describe the prevalence of adequate fruit and vegetable intake and to identify associated factors. This population based study included 6696 individuals aged ≥ 18 years, living in the Midwest of Brazil, in 2012. The adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables (FV) was the dependent variable and sociodemographic, behavioral and health factors were the independent variables. The prevalence of adequate FV consumption was 26.3%, being higher among women (RPaj= 1.44; IC95%= 1.29–1.62). The Poisson regression showed that the adequate consumption of FV were higher among women resident in Federal District, married and who considered their own health as good/very good. In both genders there was a direct association with education, age and physical activity and inversely associated with the consumption of unhealthy foods. Due to the low prevalence of adequate fruit and vegetable intake in the population of Brazil’s Midwest region in 2012, it is proposed that the intervention strategies to improve the consumption of these foods should be made in a global way.
