Higher vegetable intake and vegetable variety is associated with a better self-reported health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in a cross-sectional survey of rural northern Ghanaian women in fertile age.

After adjusting for potential confounders such as age, body-mass-index (BMI), parity, educational status, occupation, marital status, HHS and household asset index, we observed an increasing trend across terciles of vegetable intake in the past month for the HR-QoL ( P -trend = 0.0003), PH ( P -trend = 0.02), MH ( P -trend = 0.001) as well as the physical functioning ( P -trend = 0.01), role-physical ( P -trend <.0001), and role emotional ( P -trend <.0001) domains of the SF-36.

Lastly, a decreasing trend was observed between the VVS terciles and the general health domain of the SF-36 in the crude model ( P -trend = 0.02); but the observed trend was not statistically significant in the multivariate model ( P -trend = 0.18).

On the contrary, a significant trend ( P -trend = 0.001) was observed between the MH domain and the VVS terciles with participants in the high VVS tercile obtaining significantly higher scores compared to those in the low and moderate terciles.
