Validity and reliability of fruit and vegetable consumption frequency measure
Fruit and vegetable consumption frequency by characteristics of the study subjects
1) The consumption frequency score of a factor is sum of the scores for each food (0: rarely eat, 1: 6~7 times/year, 2: 1 time/month, 3: 2~3 times/month, 4: 1 time/week, 5: 2~3 times/week, 6: 4~6 times/week, 7: 1 time/day, 8: 2 times/day, 9: 3 times/day) included in the factor (Fruit 1: seasonal fruits, orange, apple, strawberry, melon, pear, watermelon, Fruit 2: easily-accessible fruits, persimmon, tangerine, grape, peach, banana, Vegetable 1: Western-style vegetables, cabbage, mushrooms, carrot, tomato, spinach, Vegetable 2: Korean-style vegetables, bean sprout, radish leaves, pumpkin/squash, seaweed, Vegetable 3: preserved vegetables, Korean cabbage, radish, laver, cucumber).
2) Mean ± SD
abc: Values with Different superscripts in a column are significantly different by Scheffe's multiple range test (p < 0.05).
*: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01, ***: p < 0.001
