Fruit and vegetable intake is associated with frequency of breakfast, lunch and evening meal: cross-sectional study of 11-, 13-, and 15-year-olds.

The article investigates whether irregular meal consumption was associated with fruit and vegetable intake among adolescents. The study is based on data from the Danish contribution to the international collaborative Health Behavior in School-Aged Children Study (HBSC) in 2002. Results showed that irregular breakfast, lunch and evening meal consumption among adolescents was associated with a low frequency of fruit and vegetable intake and that sex and age may play a modifying role.
