8.7.9 5-A-DAY in Relation to Employment Status
In Hull, the number of portions of fruit and vegetables consumed daily differed
depending on employment status (Figure 126). In a similar way to exercise as noted in
section 8.6.6, responses will be confounded with age and deprivation (see section 12.2
on page 772) as the young and people living in the more deprived areas both tend to
eat fewer portions of fruit and vegetables, and age and deprivation are also related to
employment status. The differences in the percentage eating 5-A-DAY among the
employment status groups is statistically significant ( 2 test, X=39.5, df=15, p=0.001).
The underlying data are given in the APPENDIX on page 876.

Considerable Social Marking work has been undertaken examining behaviour and
attitudes to diet, exercise and obesity in Hull with the aim of providing more relevant
information to help people eat healthily. All the reports from the Health and Lifestyle
Surveys and Social Capital Surveys reports examine diet in more detail including a
report on diet following the Young Person Health and Lifestyle Survey (see section
8.7.6 on page 336). Further work has been completed within reflector groups following
the 2007 Health and Lifestyle Survey and 2008-09 Young People Health and Lifestyle
Survey. All these reports are available at www.hullpublichealth.org.
