Fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption was examined among children aged seven to 10 years in a London, Ontario, neighbourhood. The goal was to determine areas requiring targeted programs to promote healthy lifestyles.
Data were gathered from 136 students in grades 2 to 4. Each student attended one of four elementary schools within a neighbourhood designated a priority by the City of London Child and Youth Network. The Day in the Life Questionnaire was used to collect the data. Instances of FV consumption were compared with Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide (CFG) guidelines.
Ninety-eight percent of participants did not follow the CFG-recommended minimum guidelines; they had fewer than five instances of FV consumption daily. Eighty-seven percent had fewer than two instances of FV consumption daily.
These data support national findings of low FV consumption among children.
对安大略省伦敦市一个社区7至10岁儿童的水果和蔬菜（FV）摄入量进行调查。目标是确定需要针对性项目以促进健康生活方式的领域。
收集了136名二至四年级学生的数据。每名学生就读于伦敦市儿童与青年网络指定为重点区域的社区内的四所小学之一。使用“生活一日问卷”收集数据。将FV摄入情况与《加拿大食物指南》（CFG）的指导方针进行比较。
98%的参与者未遵循CFG建议的最低指导方针；他们每天的FV摄入量少于五次。87%的人每天的FV摄入量少于两次。
这些数据支持了全国范围内儿童FV摄入量低的调查结果。
