BACKGROUND: This study aims to identify correlates of fruits and vegetables from within the domains of personal factors (taste preferences, health\/nutrition attitudes, weight\/body concerns, and self-efficacy), behavioral factors (meal frequency, fast food intake, and weight control behaviors), and socio-environmental factors (social support for healthy eating, family meal patterns, food security, socio-economic status, and home availability of fruits\/vegetables). This study further aims to identify correlates of home availability and taste preferences for fruits\/vegetables, and to explore patterns of interaction between availability and taste preferences. METHODS: The population included 3957 adolescents from 31 public middle and high schools in Minnesota. Structural equation modeling was used for model testing. RESULTS: The strongest correlates of fruit\/vegetable intake were home availability of fruits\/vegetables and taste preferences of fruits\/vegetables. The final model explained 13% of the variance in fruit\/vegetable intake, 45% of the variance in home availability, and 28% of the variance in taste preferences. Correlates of home availability included social support for healthy eating, family meal patterns, family food security, and socio-economic status. Correlates of taste preferences included health\/nutrition attitudes and home availability of fruits\/vegetables. A test of interaction effects indicated that when home availability of fruits\/vegetables was low, intake patterns did not differ, regardless of taste preferences. In contrast, even when taste preferences for fruits\/vegetables were low, if fruits\/vegetables were available, intake increased. CONCLUSIONS: Interventions to increase fruit\/vegetable intake in adolescents need to target socio-environmental factors such as greater availability of fruits\/vegetables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-53812","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"Division of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55454, USA. neumark@epi.umn.edu","annee":"2003","mois":"9","numero":"37:3","page":"198-208","auteurs":[{"ID":19696,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 20:24:57","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 19:24:57","post_content":"","post_title":"Mary T Story","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"mary-t-story","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 20:24:57","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 19:24:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/mary-t-story\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":19697,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 20:24:58","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 19:24:58","post_content":"","post_title":"Dianne R Neumark-Sztainer","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"dianne-r-neumark-sztainer","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 20:24:58","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 19:24:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/dianne-r-neumark-sztainer\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":4492,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 17:18:01","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:18:01","post_content":"","post_title":"Melanie M Wall","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"melanie-m-wall","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 17:18:01","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:18:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/melanie-m-wall\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":26012,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 22:31:32","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 21:31:32","post_content":"","post_title":"Catherine P Perry","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"catherine-p-perry","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 22:31:32","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 21:31:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/catherine-p-perry\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"sources":[{"ID":5214,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 17:25:32","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:25:32","post_content":"","post_title":"Preventive medicine","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"preventive-medicine","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 17:25:32","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:25:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/source\/preventive-medicine\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"source","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
