Simulation of the fruit and vegetable intakes meeting the dietary reference intakes of Japanese adults from the National Health and Nutrition Survey.

ABSTRACT: Fruit and vegetable intake has been associated with a reduced risk of noncommunicable diseases, however, few studies have assessed the necessary intake of fruits and vegetables to meet nutrient reference values for the dietary reference intake. This study aimed to estimate the amount of fruit and vegetable intake necessary to meet the reference values of the dietary reference intakes of Japanese people for selected nutrients using the current national dietary intake data for the Japanese adults. We used the data from 4927 Japanese adults aged 20 years and over who participated in the dietary survey in the 2019 National Health and Nutrition Survey. Nine scenarios (70-90% of Japanese adults consuming between 100 and 200 g of fruit) were used to predict the recommended average intake of fruit
