Abstract: (french)
Une étude a été menée sur la disponibilité, l’accessibilité et la consommation des fruits et légumes dans la zone de santé de Miti-Murhesa, avec comme objectif de Contribuer aux connaissances sur la sécurité et les habitudes alimentaires basées sur les fruits et légumes dans les ménages. Pour ce faire, une enquête a été réalisée auprès des ménages. Un échantillon de 384 ménages a été constitué et reparti en axes tout en retenant toutes les aires de santé de la zone. Les résultats sur la disponibilité, l’accessibilité et la consommation montrent que 38,8 % des ménages disposent les fruits, 51,8 % y accèdent et 82,0 % consomment les fruits avec une moyenne de 3 jours par semaine. S’agissant des légumes, 74,2 % des ménages en disposent, 81,0 % en accèdent et 96,1 % les consomment avec une moyenne de 4 jours par semaine. Il a été observé une corrélation entre la profession du père, le niveau d’instruction des parents et la consommation des fruits et légumes dans les ménages. D’une manière globale, si on tient compte aussi de la fréquence, la disponibilité, l’accessibilité et la consommation des fruits et légumes on constate qu’elles sont faibles dans les ménages de la zone de santé de Miti-Murhesa.
