The global burden of disease attributable to suboptimal fruit and vegetable intake, 1990-2021: a systematic analysis of the global burden of disease study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Suboptimal fruit and vegetable intake remains a significant global public health concern. This study aimed to estimate the global intake and the disease burden attributable to suboptimal fruit and vegetable intake.

Methods

In this Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021, we evaluated the number, age-standardized rates (ASRs), and estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) in deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to suboptimal fruit and vegetable intake among adults aged over 25 years, across 21 regions and 204 countries and territories, from 1990 to 2021.

Results

In 2021, the global average intake of fruit and vegetable was 121.8 g/day and 212.6 g/day, respectively, far below the optimal intake range (fruit: 340-350 g/day, vegeta
