State-Specific Trends in Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Among Adults – United States, 2000-2009
MMWR, September 10, 2010 / 59
A diet high in fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of many leading causes of death and can play an important role in weight management. To assess states’ progress over the last decade in meeting Healthy People 2010 objectives for fruit and vegetable consumption, data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) were analyzed. The findings, which indicate that no state met the objectives, underscore the need for policy and environmental interventions at national, state, and community levels, across multiple settings, to support and promote individual fruit and vegetable access and consumption.

Recommended Community Strategies and Measurements to Prevent Obesity in the United States
MMWR, July 24, 2009 / 58(RR07);1-26
Reversing the U.S. obesity epidemic requires a comprehensive and coordinated approach that uses policy and environmental change to transform communities into places that support and promote healthy lifestyle choices for all U.S. residents. Environmental factors (including lack of access to full-service grocery stores, increasing costs of healthy foods and the lower cost of unhealthy foods, and lack of access to safe places to play and exercise) all contribute to the increase in obesity rates by inhibiting or preventing healthy eating and active living behaviors.

Fruit and Vegetable Consumption Among Adults — United States, 2005MMWR, March 16, 2007 / 56(10);213-217
A diet high in fruits and vegetables is associated with decreased risk for chronic diseases. In addition, because fruits and vegetables have low energy density (i.e., few calories relative to volume), eating them as part of a reduced-calorie diet can be beneficial for weight management.

Prevalence of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption and Physical Activity by Race/Ethnicity — United States, 2005
MMWR, April 6, 2007 / 56(13);301-304
To examine the combined prevalence of 1) consumption of fruits and vegetables five or more times per day and 2) regular physical activity among U.S. adults by race/ethnicity, CDC analyzed self-reported data from the 2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). This report describes the results of that analysis, which indicated that the combined prevalence of these two behavioral strategies was higher among men of multiple/other races.
