吃各种各样的水果和蔬菜对健康衰老至关重要。水果和蔬菜的种类和数量对预防疾病同样重要。水果和蔬菜的消费量很大程度上取决于社会经济地位。社会经济地位和经济困难强烈地影响着多样性。妇女在水果方面和男子在蔬菜品种方面的经济不平等更大。工作背景：除了数量，水果和蔬菜（FV）的摄入量可以预防慢性疾病，并被广泛推荐为健康饮食的关键。FV消费是社会模式的，特别是对妇女来说，但很少有人知道多种多样的经济决定因素，或者它们是否不同于数量。目的：研究英国老年妇女和男子的社会经济地位和经济困难与FV摄入量的种类和数量的关系。研究方法：对全国代表性EPIC队列中的9580名成年人（50-79岁）进行横断面研究，这些人回答了邮政健康和生活经历问卷（1996-2000）和食物频率问卷（1998-2002）。品种计算消耗的独特项目（项目/月）和测量的总摄入量（g/天）。结果：除男性受教育程度外，任何经济因素对水果或蔬菜数量的影响均无一致性差异。较低的教育程度、较低的社会阶层和租房与较低的水果和蔬菜品种独立相关（p趋势< 0.001），男性的差异更大。社会上层和下层的平均蔬菜品种差异，男子每月2.9种，妇女每月2.5种。更大的经济困难也独立地与较低的品种有关，女性对水果的差异更大，男性对蔬菜的差异更大。结论：英国老年人报告更大的经济劣势一贯消耗更少的不同的水果或蔬菜，但不是更低的金额。进一步的营养研究的保护作用，和潜在的机制，FV品种是必要的，以解决社会不平等的老年人的饮食质量。饮食指导应单独强调多样性，干预措施应旨在解决老年人消费多种FV的经济障碍。
Eating a variety of many fruits and vegetables is critical for healthy aging. Variety is as important as quantity of fruits and vegetables for disease prevention. Fruit and vegetable consumption is strongly graded by socioeconomic status. Variety was strongly patterned by socioeconomic status and by financial hardships. Economic inequalities were greater in women for fruit and men for vegetable variety. Background: Beyond quantity, variety of fruit and vegetable (FV) intake prevents chronic conditions and is widely recommended as critical to healthful eating. FV consumption is socially patterned, especially for women, but little is known about multiple economic determinants of variety or whether they differ from those of quantity. Objective: To examine socioeconomic status and financial hardships in relation to variety and quantity of FV intakes among older British women and men. Methods: Cross-sectional study of 9580 adults (50–79 years) in the nationally representative EPIC cohort who responded to a postal Health and Life Experiences Questionnaire (1996–2000) and Food Frequency Questionnaire (1998–2002). Variety counted unique items consumed (items/month) and quantity measured total intake (g/day). Results: No consistent differences by any economic factor were observed for quantity of fruits or vegetables, except education in men. Lower education, lower social class and renting were independently associated with lower fruit variety and vegetable variety (p-trend < 0.001), with differences stronger in men. Mean vegetable variety differed between top and bottom social classes by 2.9 items/month for men and 2.5 for women. Greater financial hardships were also independently associated with lower variety, with differences stronger in women for fruits and in men for vegetables. Conclusions: British older adults reporting greater economic disadvantage consistently consumed fewer different fruits or vegetables, but not lower amounts. Further nutrition studies of the protective effects, and underlying mechanisms, of FV variety are warranted for addressing social inequalities in older adults' diet quality. Dietary guidance should separately emphasise variety, and interventions should aim to address financial barriers to older adults' consumption of diverse FV.
