Veiga IPA, Caldeira TCM, Soares MM, Sousa TM, Silva LES, Claro RM. Fruit and vegetable consumption among Brazilian adults: trends from 2008 to 2023. Cad Saúde Pública 2025; 41(1):e00032424.

Where it reads:

Vigitel conducted 697,549 interviews with adult individuals (≥ 18 years) from 2008 to 2023. Over the entire period, a decrease was observed in the proportion of young adults (18-24 years), declining from 17.9% to 12.9% (-0.33pp/year), while an increase in the proportion of individuals aged 55-64 years was observed, rising from 10.4% to 13.9% (0.25pp/year). Regarding schooling level, there was a decrease in individuals with 0 to 8 years of schooling, from 43.7% to 25.8% (-1.28pp/year), and an increase in adults with 12 years of schooling or more, from 21.6% to 32.9% (0.78pp/year) (Table 1).

The prevalence of regular fruit and vegetable consumption (≥ 5 days/week) remained stable from 2008 to 2023, with an average of 34.1% for the entire population and among all sociodemographic groups. In the initial period (2008-2014), regular fruit and vegetable consumption increased from 33% to 36.5% (0.71pp/year) for the entire population and almost all sociodemographic groups, except for adults aged 25 to 34 years. The highest increase during this period was observed among women (0.75pp/year), individuals aged 65 and more (0.83pp/year), and adults with 0 to 8 years of schooling (0.69pp/year). Conversely, the analysis of the most recent period (2015-2023) showed a decrease in the prevalence of fruit and vegetable consumption for the entire population, from 37.6% to 31.9% (-0.56pp/year), particularly among men (-0.70pp/year), individuals aged 25-34 years (-0.84pp/year) and with more than 12 years of schooling (-0.96pp/year) (Table 2 and Supplementary Material - Table S1: https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/static//arquivo/suppl-e00032424_6302.pdf).
