| Abstract: | Low fruit and vegetable (FV) intake is a public health concern in Malta, where more than one in four adults are living with obesity and only approximately 12% meet the recommended five-a-day intake. Socioeconomic disparities can contribute to a poor diet, with international evidence pointing to disadvantaged groups consuming fewer FV. The main aims of this local study were to assess FV intakes, perceptions and drivers including barriers, among adults residing in Malta. |
