Summary

Abstract Background Türkiye is one of the world’s leading producers of fruits and vegetables (F&V). Yet, findings from the Türkiye Nutrition and Health Surveys (TNHS-2010 and TNHS-2017) reveal a 24.3% decline in consumption over this period. This discrepancy between agricultural capacity and dietary intake highlights the need to better understand factors associated with consumption. This disconnect between agricultural abundance and dietary intake underscores the need to understand the factors influencing F&V consumption at the population level. Methods This cross-sectional secondary analysis used data from the nationally representative TNHS-2017.
