目的：确定社会经济群体在水果和蔬菜消费方面是否存在差异，以及食用的品种，以及青少年和成人的社会经济差异是否相似。该研究还探讨了社会经济群体在增加水果和蔬菜消费量方面的愿望是否存在差异，以及实现这一目标的障碍。设计，设置和主题：1995年澳大利亚全国营养调查收集了13-17岁青少年（n = 654）和18-64岁成年人的水果和蔬菜摄入量数据（n = 7695）使用24小时饮食回忆。家庭年总收入用于衡量社会经济地位。结果。大约44%的男性和34%的女性在调查前24小时内不吃水果，20%的男性和17%的女性不吃蔬菜。在青少年和成年人中，水果和蔬菜消费与收入呈正相关。唯一的例外是青少年男性的蔬菜消费量，这并不因收入而异。低收入的成年人比高收入的成年人消费的水果和蔬菜种类较少。水果和蔬菜的品种并不因青少年的收入而异。低收入成年人表示不太愿意增加水果和蔬菜消费，更有可能报告价格和储存是这样做的障碍。消费和品种的社会经济差异更明显的成年人比青少年Conclusions：除了增加消费的水果和蔬菜之间的一般人群，营养干预措施，计划和政策，旨在改善饮食应针对青少年和成年人从低社会经济群体。战略应解决价格和储存方面的障碍。
Objectives: To determine whether socio-economic groups differ in their fruit and vegetable consumption, and the variety eaten, and whether socio-economic differences are similar for adolescents and adults. The study also examined whether socio-economic groups vary in their reported desire to increase the amount of fruit and vegetables consumed, and the perceived barriers to achieving this.Design, setting and subjects: The 1995 Australian National Nutrition Survey collected fruit and vegetable intake data from adolescents aged 13-17 years (n = 654) and adults 18-64 years (n = 7695) using a 24-hour dietary recall. Gross annual household income was used to measure socio-economic position.Results.. Approximately 44% of males and 34% of females did not consume fruit in the 24 hours preceding the survey, and 20% of males and 17% of females did not consume vegetables. Among adolescents and adults, fruit and vegetable consumption was positively related to income. The only exception was vegetable consumption among adolescent males, which did not vary by income. Lower-income adults consumed a smaller variety of fruits and vegetables than their higher-income counterparts. Fruit and vegetable variety did not vary by income among adolescents. Lower-income adults expressed less desire to increase their fruit and vegetable consumption, and were more likely to report that price and storage were barriers to doing so. Socioeconomic differences in consumption and variety were more apparent for adults than for adolescents.Conclusions: In addition to increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables among the general population, nutrition interventions, programmes and policy aiming to improve diet should target adolescents and adults from low socio-economic groups. Strategies should address price and storage barriers.
