To describe fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption as snacks and the association with diet quality and compare the snacking environment and child and parent characteristics between children who consumed FV as snacks and those who did not.
This secondary analysis study used baseline data from a healthy weight management study with 8- to 12-year-old children with a body mass index ≥75th percentile. Data collection included 24-hour dietary recalls, measured height/weight, and child and parent surveys.
Children (n = 119) consumed 0.1 cup equivalent per 1,000 kcal of FV as snacks, the equivalent of 16.9% of their daily FV consumption. More FV consumption as snacks occurred at home when a parent was present and was associated with higher parent support for FV consumption as snacks (P = 0.03).
Renewed attention to strategies to promote FV consumption as snacks, especially at away-from-home locations, is merited.
描述作为零食的水果和蔬菜（FV）的消费情况，并探讨其与饮食质量的关系，同时比较作为零食食用 FV 的儿童和未食用 FV 的儿童的零食环境和儿童及家长特征。
本二次分析研究使用了一项健康体重管理研究的基线数据，该研究对象为 BMI 处于第 75 百分位数及以上的 8-12 岁儿童。数据收集包括 24 小时膳食回顾、测量身高/体重以及儿童和家长的问卷调查。
儿童（n=119）作为零食消费了每 1000 千卡 0.1 杯当量的 FV，相当于他们每天 FV 摄入量的 16.9%。当父母在场时，更多的 FV 作为零食在家中消费，并且与父母对 FV 作为零食消费的支持度更高相关（P=0.03）。
值得重新关注促进 FV 作为零食消费的策略，尤其是在离家地点的消费。
