Abstract

Background: Fruit and vegetable consumption may affect body WEIGHT because these foods are high in water and fiber and low in energy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between fruit and vegetable intake and bodyweight in adults.Methods: Subject of this study were recruited from those who had referred to Shahid Beheshti Nutrition and Diet therapy Clinic to control their WEIGHT. WEIGHT and height were measured by standard methods and BODY MASS Index (BMI) was calculated using the formula WEIGHT (kg) /height2 (m). Fruit and vegetable intake was assessed using a valid brief fruit and vegetable screener. Intake of fruit and vegetable was considered as “low” if screener score was equal to or less than 11 and “not low” if it was more than 11.Results: Results: A total of 171 subjects were studied.Mean±SDs of age, WEIGHT and BMI were 34.9±11.1 yrs, 75.7±16.3kg and 28.3±5.8 kg/m2, respectively. According to fruit and vegetable consumption classification, 39% of subjects had low consumption but the consumption of the rest (61%) was not low. Total score of fruit and vegetable screener was positively and significantly correlated to BMI (r=0.3, p<0.001). No significant difference in WEIGHT was seen between two consumption groups but the BMI was significantly higher in the group with higher intake of fruit and vegetable (29.1±5.5 vs.27.1±6.1 p<0.03).Conclusion: Despite other studies, in the present study consumers of more fruit and vegetable had higher BMIs which may be due to higher total food intake of these subjects. To fully address the correlation of fruit and vegetable consumption to WEIGHT, it is necessary to consider total energy intake of subjects.
