 abstract={Fruits and vegetables are staple component of a healthy diet. They are rich sources of macronutrients (proteins, fats, carbohydrates), including dietary fiber, which is associated with a reduced risk of noncommunicable diseases. In Armenia recent population-level assessments of dietary fiber intake are lacking. Therefore, this case study aimed to estimate daily dietary fiber intake from fruits and vegetables consumed by the adult population (18-65 years old) residing in Yerevan, Armenia. By integrating data on fruit and vegetable consumption collected through a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) with data on the dietary fiber content of these products, the daily dietary fiber intake (DI) was calculated for males and females, and the overall adult population in Yerevan. These estimates were then compared with the available international recommendations. The results showed that the overall mean daily dietary fiber intake from the studied fruit and vegetable species was 24,64 g/day, with males consuming slightly more fiber (26,59 g/day) than females (23,19 g/day), overall remaining below the generally recommended minimum requirements. However, the estimates reflect only 12 fruit and vegetable species and seasonal consumption patterns, while other dietary sources may also contribute. Therefore, broader research including a wider variety of fiber sources seasonal variations is needed in Armenia.},
