Overview

Scoping review highlights that interventions in low-, middle-, and high-income countries may improve intake, suggesting effective strategies are needed.

Key Points

  • About half of reviewed interventions reported a significant increase in fruit and vegetable intake.
  • Multicomponent strategies were effective in 61% of cases and interventions targeting F&V saw a 72% success rate.
  • There is a critical lack of national-level intervention trial data, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
  • Evidence underscores the need for tailored strategies to enhance fruit and vegetable intake across diverse settings.
