Average number of portions of vegetables consumed daily (adults)(female) (12057) Metric type
- Help text
- Average (mean) number of portions reported by survey respondents aged 16+ when asked how many portions of vegetables they ate on the previous day. This is the average number of portions of vegetables reported by respondents aged 16 and over, with valid responses to the vegetables consumption question. All responses reporting greater than 10 portions were recoded as 10 portions for calculation of the mean. All analyses for this indicator have been weighted to be representative of the population of England.
Respondents were asked: How many portions of vegetables did you eat yesterday? Please include fresh, frozen, raw or tinned vegetables, but do not include any potatoes you ate. Beans and pulses only count as one portion no matter how much of them you eat.
These indicators use data from the Sport England Active Lives (AL) survey. These indicators were not intended to be, and should not be, compared directly with other sources of diet data. The AL questions are more simplistic than those used in other sources e.g. National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) or Health Survey for England (HSE). The AL survey measures whole numbers of portions with composite foods (fruit/vegetables used in recipes) not explicitly included in the AL survey. Furthermore, the survey method, which uses online or postal responses rather than a food diary or face to face interview, is different and it is not unexpected that different survey methods give different results. The results for AL presented here give higher estimates for the percentage consuming five or more portions of fruit or vegetables a day than both the NDNS and the HSE. The method used in AL enables responses from a very large sample to be collected which means we can present data for each local authority which cannot be done using other sources. The main purpose of the data set used for the PHOF indicators is to enable comparisons between areas and to measure progress. Latest update presents data from Active Lives for the period mid-November to mid-November.
