Summary: | Inadequate fruit and vegetable intake is a risk factor for malnutrition and non-communicable diseases, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to identify the determinants of daily fruit and vegetable consumption among low-income households in urban and peri-urban areas of Hanoi, Vietnam and Ibadan, Nigeria. We used the barrier analysis rapid assessment tool to assess the influence of psychosocial and individual factors and perceived characteristics of the food environment. In Hanoi, determinants were family preferences and habits, home production, and perceived benefits and action efficacy. In Ibadan, consumption was determined by affordability. Gender- and neighbourhood-related differences were found to be influential factors. As results are contextual, we recommend that interventions promoting fruit and vegetable consumption assess local determinants.
•Low fruit and vegetable intake is prevalent in low- and middle-income countries.•Barrier analysis identified determinants of intake among low-income urban adults.•Affordability determined consumption in Ibadan, Nigeria.•Preferences, health knowledge, home production were determinants in Hanoi, Vietnam.•Women were more concerned with affordability than men in both sites. |
