Relationship between Prefecture-Level Yield of Not-for-Sale Fruits and Vegetables and Individual-Level Fruit and Vegetable Intake in Japan: A Cross-Sectional Study

This study investigated the relationship between prefecture-level yield of not-for-sale fruits and vegetables and individual-level fruit and vegetable intake in Japan. Data were drawn from the Japanese National Health and Nutrition Survey and National Crop Survey of 2016. Random intercept models wer...

Data were drawn from the Japanese National Health and Nutrition Survey and National Crop Survey of 2016. Random intercept models were used for the analyses. Individual-level fruit and vegetable intake was used for the dependent variable, and prefecture-level yield of not-for-sale fruits and vegetables was used for the independent variable as a fixed effect. In addition, participants’ characteristics and health-related factors at the individual level were also put into independent variables as fixed effects. The prefectures were used as random intercepts. It was found that prefecture-level yield of not-for-sale fruits and vegetables was significantly related to individual-level fruit and vegetable intake (vegetable: B = 0.390, <i>p</i> < 0.001; fruit: B = 0.268, <i>p</i> = 0.003; fruits and vegetables: B = 0.357, <i>p</i> < 0.001). These relationships were also significant in the gender-specific analysis. Thus, the yield of not-for-sale fruits and vegetables might contribute to the intake of fruits and vegetables in Japan.Daisuke MachidaMDPI AGarticlefruit and vegetable intakenonmarket foodfood environmenthealth promotionrandom intercept modelcross-sectional studyNutrition.
