Impact of intervention strategies on fruit and vegetable intake in low-, middle- and high-income countries: A scoping review
Background: Despite well-documented health benefits, fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake remains below recommended levels globally. Objectives: This scoping review aimed to identify effective intervention strategies to increase F&V intake. Methods: We searched PubMed and Web of Science (February 2023...

| description | Background: Despite well-documented health benefits, fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake remains below recommended levels globally.
Objectives:
This scoping review aimed to identify effective intervention strategies to increase F&V intake.
Methods:
We searched PubMed and Web of Science (February 2023) for intervention studies assessing impact on F&V intake. Eligibility criteria included studies published in English since 2012, a valid control group, ≥2 weeks duration, and ≥50 participants per intervention arm. Analysis was done by intervention comparison. Findings were described by summarizing proportion of intervention comparisons reporting statistically significant increases in fruit, vegetable and/or combined F&V intake across standalone (nutrition communication, social protection, agriculture or food environment restructuring) and multi-component strategies.
Results:
A total of 284 intervention comparisons (223 unique studies) were included. The majority of comparisons (191/284) came from high-income countries (HICs) and 93/284 from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Nutrition communication was the most common standalone strategy, with 121/218 comparisons reporting positive impacts on fruit, vegetable and/or combined F&V intake. Fewer studies evaluated standalone social protection (13/284), food environment restructuring (4/284), or agriculture strategies (3/284). Among the limited interventions, 7/13 social protection and 3/4 food environment restructuring comparisons reported positive impacts, while none of the three standalone agricultural interventions did. Multi-component interventions demonstrated potential with 28/46 comparisons having positive impacts.
Conclusions:
Some of the intervention strategies showed potential for increasing fruit and/or vegetable intake. However, given the heterogeneity of the interventions, small number of studies for some strategies and limited evidence from LMICs, more rigorous, context-specific research is needed. |
