背景：我们研究了补贴住房社区低收入居民的邻里、朋友和家庭规范以及对水果和蔬菜 (F&V) 消费和购买的社会支持是否与 F&V 摄入量相关。我们检查了 Live Well/Viva Bien 干预措施的辅助研究的基线数据。参与者包括四个低收入补贴住房地点的 290 名居民，他们年龄 >= 18 岁，会讲英语和/或西班牙语，并且没有妨碍食用 F&V 的健康状况。方法：线性回归模型在调整社会人口统计学特征后检查了规范和社会支持与 F&V 摄入量之间的关联。结果：在分析中，邻里对 F&V 的社会支持与 F&V 摄入量增加 0.31 杯相关（95% CI = 0.05、0.57）。食用 F&V 的家庭规范和食用 F&V 的家庭社会支持分别与 F&V 摄入量增加 0.32 杯（95% CI = 0.13, 0.52）和 0.42 杯（95% CI = 0.19, 0.64）相关。结论：据我们所知，没有其他研究同时检验邻里、家庭和同伴规范以及社会支持与 F&V 摄入量的关系。这些发现可能会为社区干预措施和社区级政策提供信息，以减少食品和饮料消费方面的社区差异。
Background: We examined whether neighborhood-, friend-, and family-norms and social support for consumption and purchase of fruits and vegetables (F&V) were associated with F&V intake among low-income residents in subsidized housing communities. We examined baseline data from a study ancillary to the Live Well/Viva Bien intervention. Participants included 290 residents in four low-income subsidized housing sites who were >= 18 years of age, English and/or Spanish speaking, and without medical conditions that prevented consumption of F&V.Methods: Linear regression models examined associations of norms and social support with F&V intake after adjustments for sociodemographic characteristics.Results: In the analysis, neighborhood social support for F&V was associated with a 0.31 cup increase in F&V intake (95% CI = 0.05, 0.57). The family norm for eating F&V and family social support for eating F&V were associated with a 0.32 cup (95% CI = 0.13, 0.52) and 0.42 cup (95% CI = 0.19, 0.64) increase in F&V intake, respectively.Conclusions: To our knowledge, no other studies have examined neighborhood, family, and peer norms and social support simultaneously and in relation to F&V intake. These findings may inform neighborhood interventions and community-level policies to reduce neighborhood disparities in F&V consumption.
