This study aimed to determine the proportion of fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption in regions of Thailand with the highest risk for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
A multi-stage sampling method was employed to recruit participants. One sub-district per district was selected using random sampling. Simple random sampling was used to select individuals based on age range and sex, resulting in a final sample size of 744 participants. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. FV consumption was assessed through a 24-hour recall interview, recording the types and quantities consumed in three meals. Consumption proportions were calculated by comparing the amounts of each FV consumed. Household consumption units were converted to grams. Descriptive statistics, including number, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, were calculated. The total amount of FV consumed across all meals was compared to the recommended daily intake of ≥400 grams. The prevalence rate of FV consumption was also calculated. Results: The prevalence rate of FV consumption in Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand, was 11.30 per 100,000 people. The highest frequency of FV consumption was 1-3 days/week, reported by 66.93% of participants. Most respondents (61.43%) exhibited excellent knowledge regarding FV consumption. Similarly, the mean score for attitude regarding the health benefits of FV consumption was 3.10±0.18.
This study highlights insufficient FV consumption, associated with the high incidence of CCA, in the studied region. To mitigate the risk of CCA, relevant organizations should implement campaigns to raise awareness about the importance of FV consumption through social media communication and other channels.
本研究旨在确定泰国胆管癌（CCA）高发地区水果和蔬菜（FV）的消费比例。
采用多阶段抽样方法招募参与者。每个区随机选择一个分district。根据年龄范围和性别，采用简单随机抽样选择个体，最终样本量为 744 人。使用结构化问卷收集数据。通过 24 小时回忆访谈评估 FV 的摄入量，记录三餐中消耗的种类和数量。通过比较每种 FV 的消耗量来计算消费比例。将家庭消费单位转换为克。计算了描述性统计数据，包括数量、百分比、平均值和标准差。将所有餐次消耗的 FV 总量与推荐的每日摄入量≥400 克进行比较。还计算了 FV 消费的流行率。
泰国乌汶叻差他尼的 FV 消费流行率为每 10 万人中有 11.30 人。FV 消费频率最高的是每周 1-3 天，有 66.93%的参与者报告。大多数受访者（61.43%）对 FV 消费有很好的了解。同样，对 FV 消费对健康益处的态度的平均得分为 3.10±0.18。
本研究强调了在所研究地区 FV 消费不足与 CCA 高发之间存在关联。为了降低 CCA 的风险，相关组织应通过社交媒体传播和其他渠道实施宣传活动，提高人们对 FV 消费重要性的认识。
