Resumo: | AIMS: To evaluate characteristics of, barriers to and motivators for consumption of fruit and vegetables among adults in Brasília. METHODS: By means of a scripted interview the following data were collected: socio-demographic and anthropometric details, frequency and portion size of fruit and vegetable intake, and reasons for current consumption pattern. Individuals aged 20 years or more, from a pre-selected sample who participated in a survey on physical activity in adults, were selected. Frequency and proportions of responses and content analysis were used. RESULTS: Ninety-eight subjects were interviewed. Most individuals consumed fewer than 3 daily portions of fruit (68%) and vegetables (77%), while a large proportion of them presented intake on 5 or more days of the week (69.5% and 81.5%, respectively). The main reasons that motivated the interviewees to consume fruit and vegetables were: to be healthy, because of the pleasant taste, and because they help lose or maintain weight. Most cited barriers were unpleasant taste, lack of habit, eating little and thinking it is enough, limited time available and high perishability. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of subjects presented fruit and vegetable intake below the recommended level indicated by the Brazilian food guide, mainly due to the reduced number of consumed portions. Fruit and vegetable intake were motivated by health and taste. The unpleasant taste and lack of habit were cited as the main barriers for intake. |

MÉTODOS: Por meio de um roteiro de entrevista foram obtidos dados sociodemográficos, antropométricos, de frequência e porção da ingestão de frutas e hortaliças e razões do padrão atual de consumo. Foram incluídos indivíduos com 20 anos ou mais, a partir de uma amostra pré-selecionada que participou de uma pesquisa sobre atividade física de adultos. Foram empregados frequência, proporções de respostas e análise de conteúdo. RESULTADOS: Foram entrevistados 98 sujeitos. A maioria dos indivíduos consumia menos que três porções diárias de frutas (68%) e hortaliças (77%), entretanto uma proporção elevada apresentava ingestão desses alimentos em cinco ou mais dias da semana (69,5% e 81,5%, respectivamente). As principais razões que motivavam os entrevistados a consumirem frutas e hortaliças eram o fato destas serem saudáveis, de sabor agradável e auxiliarem na manutenção ou perda de peso. As barreiras mais citadas foram sabor desagradável, falta de hábito, comer pouco e achar o consumo suficiente, pouco tempo disponível e perecibilidade elevada. CONCLUSÕES: A maioria dos indivíduos apresentava consumo de frutas e hortaliças abaixo do recomendado segundo o guia alimentar da população brasileira, principalmente em função do número reduzido de porções consumidas. A motivação para o consumo de frutas e hortaliças foi vinculada a saúde e sabor. O sabor desagradável e a falta de hábito foram as principais barreiras mencionadas para o consumo de frutas e hortaliças.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2013-07-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/13047Scientia Medica; Vol. 23 No. 2 (2013); 68-74Scientia Medica; v. 23 n. 2 (2013); 68-741980-61081806-5562reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
