Abstract：
Fruits are essential for health, yet their consumption in children is inadequate, with unclear influencing factors.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among students in grades 3-12 in Beijing, China, from September 2020 to June 2021. Fruit consumption in children was surveyed using a self-administered food frequency questionnaire. Additionally, children\'s food and nutrition literacy and family food environments were assessed using the \"Food and Nutrition Literacy Questionnaire for Chinese School-age Children\" and the \"Family Food Environment Questionnaire for Chinese School-age Children,\" respectively.
Out of 10,000 participating children, 62.5% consumed fruit daily, with a lower frequency among boys (59.3%) compared to girls (65.8%), and among senior students (48.6%) compared to junior (63.6%) and primary students (71.2%). Fruit consumption was positively associated with other healthy foods (vegetables, whole grains, etc.) and negatively with unhealthy foods (sugared soft drinks). Children with higher food and nutrition literacy consumed fruits daily more frequently (82.4% vs. 59.9%, ORs = 2.438, 95%CI: 2.072-2.868). A significant positive correlation was found between children\'s fruit consumption and a healthy family food environment (66.4% vs. 50.2%, OR = 1.507, 95%CI: 1.363-1.667).
The results indicate that individual food and nutrition literacy and family food environment are key positive predictors of children\'s fruit consumption. Future interventions should focus on educating children and encouraging parents to foster supportive family environments.

摘要：
■水果对健康至关重要，然而他们在儿童中的消费不足，影响因素不明确。
■在北京3-12年级的学生中进行了一项横断面研究，中国,从2020年9月到2021年6月。使用自我管理的食物频率问卷调查了儿童的水果消费量。此外,使用“中国学龄儿童食品和营养素养问卷”和“中国学龄儿童家庭食品环境问卷”评估儿童的食品和营养素养以及家庭食品环境，\"分别。
■在10,000名参与儿童中，每天食用62.5%的水果，与女孩(65.8%)相比，男孩(59.3%)的频率较低，高年级学生(48.6%)，低年级学生(63.6%)和小学学生(71.2%)。水果消费与其他健康食品(蔬菜，全谷物,等。)和不健康食品(含糖软饮料)的负面影响。食物和营养素养较高的儿童每天食用水果的频率更高(82.4%vs.59.9%,ORs=2.438，95CI：2.072-2.868）。儿童水果消费与健康的家庭饮食环境之间存在显著正相关(66.4%vs.50.2%,OR=1.507，95CI：1.363-1.667）。
■结果表明，个体食物和营养素养以及家庭食物环境是儿童水果消费的关键正向预测因素。未来的干预措施应侧重于教育儿童和鼓励父母培养支持性的家庭环境。
