Nicholas Ansai et al. NCHS Data Brief. 2021 Feb.

Abstract

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2015-2020 suggest that a healthy eating pattern include consuming a variety of different fruit and vegetables (1). Fruits and vegetables are sources of many essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and consumption is associated with decreased risk of chronic disease (1-3). This report examines the percentage of adults aged 20 and over who consumed fruit and vegetables on a given day by sex and income in 2015-2018 and trends in fruit and vegetable consumption.
