Summary
Background: Adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables is essential for the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs); however, intake remains suboptimal in many urban settings in Nigeria. Understanding knowledge, attitudes, and consumption practices is critical for designing effective nutrition interventions. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among adults aged 18 years and above in Surulere, Lagos State, using a pre-tested interviewer-administered questionnaire to assess socio-demographics, knowledge, attitudes, and fruit and vegetable intake. Knowledge and attitudes were scored, and data were analyzed with EPI INFO version 7 using chi-square tests at p < 0.05. Results: A total of 284 respondents participated, with a mean age of 34.79 ± 12.71 years.
