"NHANES 11调查：美国饮食中的水果和蔬菜数据"

The study "Fruit and Vegetables in the American Diet: Data from the NHANES 11 Survey" examined the consumption of fruits and vegetables among Black and White adults in the United States using data from the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 11) conducted from 1976 to 1980. The research aimed to estimate the servings of fruits and vegetables consumed, as well as the types of servings, such as potatoes, garden vegetables, and fruit juices. The results of the study provided insights into the dietary habits of Americans during this time period. The researchers found that both Black and White adults consumed significantly fewer servings of fruits and vegetables compared to the recommended guidelines. This deficiency in fruit and vegetable intake is concerning as these foods are essential sources of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber that are crucial for overall health and well-being. Furthermore, the study highlighted disparities in fruit and vegetable consumption between different racial groups. Black adults were found to consume fewer servings of fruits and vegetables compared to White adults, indicating potential disparities in access to and availability of these nutritious foods. This finding underscores the importance of addressing food insecurity and promoting greater access to fresh fruits and vegetables in underserved communities. In conclusion, the study shed light on the inadequate consumption of fruits and vegetables among American adults, with significant disparities observed between Black and White populations. Promoting increased intake of these nutritious foods is essential for improving public health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Addressing barriers to access and affordability of fruits and vegetables is crucial for creating a more equitable and health-promoting food environment for all individuals.
