Fruits and Vegetables Make the Marks III: How to improve adolescents' eating habits?

The intake of fruit and vegetables in Norway is lower than in most other European countries, and much lower than what is recommended by the health authorities, while the consumption of added sugar is much higher than recommended. It is a major gap between what we know about the positive health effects of a diet rich in fruit and vegetables and low in added sugar, and what Norwegian people really consume. The FVMM project is an intervention project, where interventions (e.g. free participation in the Norwegian School Fruit programme) were conducted in 6th and 7th grade classes in the school year of 2001/2002. One baseline questionnaire survey (Sept. 01) and three follow-up surveys (May 02, May 03 and May 05) have been conducted. The FVMM cohort contains 1950 adolescents from 38 randomly selected elementary schools and their parents. A fourth follow-up survey (May 08), and a survey of new pupils and parents within the initial 38 schools was conducted September 08. NSD1844-1: Datafile based on student/pupil responses.

挪威的果蔬摄入量低于多数欧洲国家，且远低于该国卫生主管部门的推荐标准；而添加糖摄入量则远高于推荐标准。目前学界已明确足量果蔬摄入、低添加糖饮食对健康的积极作用，但挪威民众的实际饮食结构与这一标准存在显著差距。FVMM项目为一项干预研究，于2001/2002学年在六年级与七年级班级中实施了多项干预措施（例如免费参与挪威学校果蔬计划（Norwegian School Fruit Programme））。该研究先后开展1次基线问卷调查（2001年9月）与3次追踪调查（2002年5月、2003年5月及2005年5月）。FVMM队列纳入了来自38所随机选取的小学的1950名青少年及其家长。2008年5月，研究开展了第四次追踪调查；同年9月，又对初始纳入的38所学校内的新入学学生及其家长开展了专项问卷调查。本数据集包含两个文件：NSD1844-1为基于学生应答数据构建的数据集文件，NSD1844-2为基于家长应答数据构建的数据集文件。
