To assess the intake frequency of fruit and vegetables, serving sizes, reasons for and barriers to consumption, and the potential for increasing fruit and vegetable intake.
A nationwide postal questionnaire survey was conducted in 2006 over all four seasons. The participants were stratified according to occupation and sex. The response rate for 5130 questionnaires sent out was 52.7 %.
Austria.
Austrian adults, aged 19-64 years.
Daily fruit consumption was reported by 57.1 % of the participants and daily vegetable consumption by 36.2 %. On average, 2.1 (SD 1.9) servings (250 (SD 225) g) of fruit and 1.7 (SD 1.3) servings (198 (SD 159) g) of vegetables were consumed daily. Women ate fruit and vegetables both more frequently and in greater quantities than men. Both intake frequency and the number of fruit and vegetable servings were largely independent of seasonal fluctuations. The primary reason for the consumption of both fruit and vegetables was taste. The greatest barrier to higher intake was the perception that current individual consumption was already sufficient. Price did not constitute a relevant barrier in Austria. At present, the potential for increasing fruit and vegetable intake can be estimated at two servings.
Austrian adults still consume less fruit and vegetables than recommended. Strategies to increase intake should pay more attention to the taste instead of the various health aspects.
评估水果和蔬菜的摄入频率、食用份量、食用的原因和障碍，以及增加水果和蔬菜摄入量的潜力。
2006 年在四季进行了一项全国性的邮政问卷调查。参与者按职业和性别分层。发出的 5130 份问卷的回复率为 52.7%。
奥地利。
19-64 岁的奥地利成年人。
57.1%的参与者报告每天食用水果，36.2%的参与者报告每天食用蔬菜。平均每天食用 2.1（SD 1.9）份（250（SD 225）g）水果和 1.7（SD 1.3）份（198（SD 159）g）蔬菜。女性比男性更频繁、更大量地食用水果和蔬菜。摄入频率和水果及蔬菜份数均与季节性波动基本无关。食用水果和蔬菜的主要原因是味道。阻碍摄入更多水果和蔬菜的最大障碍是认为当前个人摄入量已经足够。在奥地利，价格并不是一个相关的障碍。目前，增加水果和蔬菜摄入量的潜力估计为两份。
奥地利成年人的水果和蔬菜摄入量仍低于建议量。增加摄入量的策略应更多地关注味道，而不是各种健康方面。
