了解水果和蔬菜的摄入量与其他健康行为之间的联系，对于正确解释快速增长的研究数量至关重要，这些研究将水果和蔬菜的低摄入量与癌症和心血管疾病的风险联系起来。为了检验水果和蔬菜摄入与慢性病行为风险因素之间的关系，我们分析了一项基于人群的行为风险因素调查数据。1990年，通过随机数字拨号电话调查，从16个州的21,892名成年人中收集了数据。受访者使用六项问卷回答了与慢性病风险相关的行为，包括他们摄入水果和蔬菜的频率。在那些报告自己久坐不动、重度吸烟者、酗酒者或从未接受过血液胆固醇检查的人中，水果和蔬菜的消费量最低。由于水果和蔬菜的摄入量与其他几种慢性病风险因素相关，因此在癌症和心血管疾病风险的病因学研究中，考虑水果和蔬菜的摄入量与其他行为之间可能存在的混淆是很重要的。
Understanding the associations between fruit and vegetable intake and other health behaviors is important for properly interpreting the rapidly growing number of studies that link low intakes of fruits and vegetables to the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. To examine the association between fruit and vegetable intake and behavioral risk factors for chronic diseases, we analyzed data from a population-based behavioral risk factor survey. Data were collected in 1990 from 21,892 adults in 16 states by a random-digit-dial telephone survey. Respondents answered questions about behaviors related to chronic disease risk, including their frequency of intake of fruits and vegetables, using a six-item questionnaire. Consumption of fruits and vegetables was lowest among those who also reported that they were sedentary, heavy smokers, heavy drinkers, or had never had their blood cholesterol checked. Because fruit and vegetable intake covaries with several other chronic disease risk factors, it is important to account for possible confounding between fruit and vegetable intake and other behaviors in etiologic studies of the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.
