Resumen
THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO ESTIMATE ADOLESCENT FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE. AN ANALYTICAL CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY WAS CONDUCTED WITH A RANDOM SAMPLE OF 100 ADOLESCENTS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 14 AND 17 FROM A PRIVATE SUBSIDIZED SCHOOL IN CHILLÁN. NUTRITIONAL STATUS WAS EVALUATED ACCORDING TO BMI, AND A FOOD SURVEY WAS APPLIED. THE SURVEY WAS SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO CAPTURE FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE AND WAS APPLIED BY PERSONNEL WITH STANDARDIZED TRAINING. RESULTS: MEDIAN FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE WAS 217G (P25-P75: 139G-328G) AND 183 G (P25-P75: 139G-299G) RESPECTIVELY; VEGETABLE INTAKE WAS HIGHER FOR GIRLS (217G V/S 165G, P=0.001). HIGHLY INADEQUATE FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE WAS 12% FOR GIRLS AND 88% FOR BOYS. CONCLUSIONS: ADOLESCENT FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE WAS LOWER THAN THE RECOMMENDED INTAKE.
