Objective: To investigate the association between fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake with suicidal ideation. Design: Cross-sectional study using a Korean Community Health Survey. Setting: F&V consumers were defined as individuals who had consumed fruits or vegetables more than once per day. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with suicidal ideation including F&V consumption and to estimate the prevalence of having suicidal ideation after consideration of potential confounders. Participants: 221 081 Korea adults (nationally representative). Results: Approximately 55 % of participants were F&V consumers. They were more likely to be young, be women, attain high educational levels, be married and be healthier physically and psychologically than the F&V non-consumers. Non-consumers had an increased risk for suicidal ideation than consumers even when potential confounders were considered, and this trend was more remarkable with vegetable intake. Conclusion: F&V intake is associated with low risk for suicidal ideation
