Lack of fruit and veg consumption among children linked to income and maternal factors
In a recent study, researchers reviewed demographic and health surveys between 2006–2020 at the global scale, looking for clear trends of zero fruit/vegetable consumption in infants. They found that almost 46% of the world follows the practice of zero fruit/vegetable consumption. Primarily, socioeconomic conditions and the mothers' employment status are significant predictors.
