Consumption of sufficient amounts of vegetables and fruits is one of the
indicators in balanced nutrition guidelines and plays a role in preventing
degenerative diseases. Lack of consumption of vegetables and fruits can increase
the risk of developing degenerative diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension,
and cancer. This study aims to determine the relationship between Mother's
Nutritional Knowledge, vegetable and fruit availability, vegetable and fruit
preferences with vegetable and fruit consumption in students of SDN Sidamukti 3
Pandeglang Banten. The subjects in this study were 80 students of SDN Sidamukti
3 Pandeglang Banten. This type of research is cross-sectional and the sampling
technique is proportional random sampling. Data were collected through SQ-FFQ
questionnaire interviews, questionnaires on Mother's Nutritional Knowledge,
vegetable and fruit availability, and vegetable and fruit preferences. Data analysis
in this study used the Chi-Square test. The results showed that there was no
significant relationship between mother’s nutritional knowledge and vegetable (p =
1.000) and fruit (p = 1.000) consumption, vegetable and fruit availability with
vegetable (p = 1.000) and fruit (p = 0.111) consumption, and vegetable and fruit
preferences with vegetable (p = 0.341) and fruit (p = 0.091) consumption in
students of SDN Sidakmukti 3 Pandeglang Banten. The study concluded that
Mother's Nutritional Knowledge, fruit and vegetable availability, and fruit and
vegetable preference did not influence fruit and vegetable consumption. Therefore,
nutrition education related to fruits and vegetables for mothers is needed
