Global study: children's lack of vegetable and fruit consumption linked to wealth and maternal factors PLOSGPH UW vegetable fruit fruitandvegetable consumption diet nutrition childhealth childrenshealth
By Susha Cheriyedath, M.Sc.Jul 3 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study in the PLOS Global Public Health Journal, researchers reviewed demographic and health surveys between 2006–2020 at the global scale to elucidate trends in zero vegetable or fruit consumption in infants.
Introduced in 2021, the ZVF metric tests the proportion of children between the ages of 6-23 months who have not consumed any vegetables or fruits in the 24 hours preceding the query. Furthermore, until now, data on ZVF, even from economically privileged nations, has been temporally restricted , with no literature available on ZVF trends over time.
This allowed the researchers to elucidate the drivers of ZVF consumption at every geographic and temporal scale. In contrast, education levels were the primary correlate for ZVF in mothers – the higher the mother's education level, the lower the ZVF consumption of her children, irrespective of her age. The mothers' media exposure and employment status also significantly reduced ZVF values in their children.
