背景:饮食适应是保留或改变来自起源环境的饮食和饮食实践和/或采用新环境中普遍存在的饮食和饮食实践的过程。尽管美国人口增长迅速,亚裔美国人在表征饮食适应方面存在知识差距,夏威夷原住民,和太平洋岛民社区(AANHPI)。这项研究在关键人口统计学特征上描述了代表AANHPI的样本中的饮食模式。
方法:数据来自旧金山湾区2013-2014年基于人群的病例对照研究,美国调查项目改编自针对AANHPI人群开发的饮食适应量表。经过验证的评估社会资本的措施,社会地位,歧视和移民经验。进行了主成分因子分析,以表征适应的饮食模式。
结果:确定了三种饮食模式:“亚洲,\"\"西方,“和独特的“多元文化”因素。报告高亚洲饮食的受访者也倾向于报告较小的社交网络,更高水平的压力,and,在美国以外出生的人中,在移民之前更好的教育地位。报告西方饮食的受访者往往也报告了最高程度的歧视。那些报告高多元文化饮食的人倾向于报告更高的邻里集体功效。
结论:除了典型的“亚洲”和“西方”因素之外,发现独特的“多元文化”因素可能反映了文化之间的多方向关系,饮食,和饮食行为,起源和目的地文化以复杂的方式相互作用,来自多个种族的食物混合在一起。
BACKGROUND: Dietary acculturation is the process by which diet and dietary practises from the environment of origin are retained or changed and/or those prevalent in a new environment are adopted. Despite rapid population growth the U.S., knowledge gaps exist on characterising dietary acculturation among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities (AANHPI). This study characterise dietary patterns in a sample representative of AANHPI on key demographic characteristics.
METHODS: Data were from a 2013-2014 population-based case-control study in the San Francisco Bay Area, U.S. Survey items were adapted from dietary acculturation scales developed for AANHPI populations. Validated measures assessed social capital, social standing, discrimination and immigration experiences. A principal components factor analysis was conducted to characterise dietary patterns of acculturation.
RESULTS: Three dietary patterns were identified: \"Asian,\" \"Western,\" and a distinct \"Multicultural\" factor. Respondents reporting a high-Asian diet tended to also report smaller social networks, higher levels of stress, and, among those born outside of the U.S., an educational standing that was better before immigration. Respondents reporting a high-Western diet tended to also report the highest level of discrimination. Those reporting a high-Multicultural diet tended to report higher neighbourhood collective efficacy.
CONCLUSIONS: The finding of a distinct \"Multicultural\" factor beyond the typical \"Asian\" and \"Western\" factors may reflect the multidirectional relationships between culture, diet, and dietary behavior, in which origin and destination cultures interact in complex ways and where foods from multiple ethnicities intermix.
