Abstract Background The relationships of fruit and vegetable (FV) intake with sleep quality and stress among nurses with different working status are largely unknown. This study aimed to assess the FV intake among Hong Kong female nurses with varying working status and evaluate its associations with sleep quality and stress levels. Methods A cross-sectional survey named “Hong Kong Women’s Health Study” was conducted between 2019 and 2020. Systematic sampling was adopted to recruit eligible nurses from a local Nurses Association. Email invitations followed by mailed questionnaires were used for data collection. FV servings consumed every day with detailed descriptions.

Nurses’ work status was classified as employed/retired and day work/shift work. Multivariate linear regression was applied. Results A total of 1,270 female nurses were included in the data analysis. The average FV intake was 2.91 servings/day, 88.7% of the participants consumed less than 5 servings/day. Nurses who were aged 45 and above, obese (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2), post-menopause, with a higher monthly family income, day work schedule, or retired, were more likely to have higher VF intake (all P |
