  abstract = {{O}bjective: {T}o estimate daily fruit and vegetable intakes and to investigate socioeconomic and behavioural differences in fruit and vegetable consumption among urban {M}oroccan women. {D}esign: {A} cross-sectional survey. {F}ruit and vegetable intake was measured with a single 24 h recall. {S}ettings: {A} representative population-based survey conducted in the area of {R}abat-{S}ale. {S}ubjects: {W}omen (n 894) of child-bearing age (20-49 years). {R}esults: {M}ean fruit and vegetable intake was 331 g/d (155 g/d for fruit and 176 g/d for vegetables). {O}nly one-third (32.1 %) of women consumed >= 400 g/d and half the sample (50.6 %) were considered as low consumers, i.e. <280 g/d. {W}omen of higher economic status ate significantly more fruit ({P}<0.05) and more fruit and vegetables combined ({P} < 0.05). {W}omen ate significantly less vegetables if they ate out of home more often or skipped at least one main meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) or ate more processed foods ({P} < 0.05, {P}<0.01 and {P} < 0.001, respectively). {F}ruit and vegetable diversity was not associated with any of the factors investigated. {C}onclusions: {I}n this population, fruit and vegetable intakes are driven by different determinants. {I}ndeed, while vegetable consumption was related only to behavioural determinants, fruit consumption was influenced only by economic status. {T}herefore, programmes promoting fruit and vegetable intake would be more effective if they account for these specific determinants in their design.},
