食用水果和蔬菜被认为对预防癌症有益。然而，调查表明，很大一部分人没有摄入推荐的水果和蔬菜摄入量。1990年进行了一项邮件调查，以调查随机抽样的华盛顿州居民（n = 1069；年龄范围= 20-88岁）对营养的态度和报告的水果和蔬菜摄入量。与收入和受教育程度最高的群体或女性相比，低收入和受教育程度低的群体和男性在水果和蔬菜摄入障碍方面的得分明显更高。无论收入或教育水平如何，所有受访者都高度关注营养问题。高收入人群的营养行为得分明显更高。多元回归分析结果表明，16%的水果和蔬菜摄入量的差异是由态度变量造成的。水果和蔬菜摄入的障碍是实际水果和蔬菜消费量变化的最大组成部分。结果表明，对水果和蔬菜摄入障碍的态度与营养行为之间存在关系。此外，受教育程度有限和收入较低的男性和个人可能受益于旨在减少水果和蔬菜摄入障碍的教育。
Consumption of fruits and vegetables is suggested to be beneficial in cancer prevention. However, surveys indicate that a large percentage of the population does not consume the recommended intake of fruits and vegetables. A mail survey was conducted in 1990 to examine attitudes toward nutrition and reported fruit and vegetable intake among randomly sampled Washington state residents (n = 1069; age range = 20-88 years). Individuals in low-income and low-education categories and males had significantly higher scores measuring barriers to fruit and vegetable intake compared to the highest income and education groups or females. All respondents had high nutrition concern despite income or education level. Nutrition behavior scores were significantly higher for individuals with high income. Results of the multiple regression analysis indicated that 16% of the variance in fruit and vegetable intake was accounted for by attitude variables. Barriers to fruit and vegetable intake were the largest component of variability in actual fruit and vegetable consumption. Results suggest a relationship between attitudes about barriers to fruit and vegetable intake and nutrition behaviors. Additionally, males and individuals with limited education and lower income may benefit from education directed toward reducing barriers to fruit and vegetable intake.
