Consumption of fruits and vegetables among university students in Denmark

Our findings show that female non-Danish students had a healthier intake compared to Danish ones, eating more fruits a day and more fruits in compotes. On the other hand, male Danish students eat more vegetables a day than non-Danish counterparts do. The study provides information about consumers F&V habits, and the groups that should be targeted for interventions to increase the intake of F&V. It reinforces the need to consider different backgrounds of the target population when planning specific interventions.
