Consumption of fruit and vegetables has been widely associated with different health benefits such as protection against non-transmissible chronic diseases, cancer and mental disorders.

Diet Diversity in Urban Costarican Populations: Results from Latinamerican Health and Nutrition Study

The diet diversity index (IDD) is a measure of the quality of the diet, since the greater the variety of the diet, the greater the possibility of covering recommendations of essential nutrients. Aim: To determine IDD in a representative sample of the Costa Rican urban population, food consumption was evaluated through a 24-hour reminder.

The reported foods were classifie1 into 10 groups, according to the methodology proposed by FAO. To the consumption of each of these groups one point was assigned, up to a maximum of 10 points. An average of 4,97 points was obtained, which was significantly higher in men and as socioeconomic level increased. No differences were found when comparing by age or nutritional status. 64,4% of participants achieved with the recommendation to consume at least five different food groups.
