Classification tree analysis for an intersectionality-informed identification of population groups with non-daily vegetable intake.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Daily vegetable intake is considered an important behavioural health resource associated with improved immune function and lower incidence of non-communicable disease. Analyses of population-based data show that being female and having a high educational status is most strongly associated with increased vegetable intake.
