Preventing Chronic Disease | A Qualitative Study ofPerceived Barriers to Fruit and Vegetable Consumption AmongLow-Income Populations, North Carolina, 2011 - CDC
Obesity is the leading preventable cause of illness and a major contributor to chronic disease. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables can help manage and prevent weight gain and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Low-income communities often lack stores that sell fresh fruit and vegetables and have instead stores that sell foods low in nutritional value. The objective of this study was to understand perceived community-level barriers to fruit and vegetable consumption among low-income people.
