Resumen
Descripción
We examine the socio-demographic determinants of fruit and vegetable consumption
using household survey data from Malaysia. A bivariate ordered probability model is
developed by the copula approach. Results for a system of fruit and vegetable servings
per week indicate that education, age, ethnicity, income, location of residence, smoking
status and health conditions are significant predictors of fruit and vegetable consumption
in Malaysia. Policy implications are suggested.
