Batay sa pinakahuling datos mula sa 2021 Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Study (YAFS5), bagamat mataas ang pagkonsumo ng mga kabataan edad 15-24 sa green leafy vegetables (67%) at itlog (63%), 35% lamang ang kumakain ng fresh fruits nang dalawang beses sa isang linggo. Halos kapantay lang nito ang porsyento ng mga kumakain ng sweet at salty snacks (33%).

Subukan nating isama si Sharmaine 🍊, Melanie 🥑, o iba pang klase ng prutas sa ating hapag-kainan sa mga susunod na araw. Ang mga nutritional habits na nabubuo sa kabataan ay may malaking epekto sa kalusugan ng ating tumatandang populasyon. 🧡💚

The University of the Philippines Population Institute mourns the passing of Prof. Zosimo E.

The UPPI community extends its condolences to the family, friends, colleagues, and former students of Dr. Lee.

Maraming salamat sa iyong paglilingkod sa unibersidad.

Paalam, Dr. Lee.

Rest in peace, Dr. Alan.
