“…This is a positive finding, because we know from a previous study within HELIUS that the dietary intake is rather robust across generations. Therefore, a shift in CEFA levels seems unlikely . In the current sample, for instance, CEFA levels were not clearly differentiated across generations (data not shown).…”

“…Prevalence of disease is often higher in ethnic minority groups, and socioeconomic position is on average lower [4], so poorer diet quality among these groups may be expected. Dietary patterns and dietary behaviours differ between ethnic groups [5,6], which could contribute to ethnic differences in diet quality, and could also modify the relationship between socioeconomic position and diet [7]. These relationships warrant further study, as interventions and policies aiming to improve population diet quality and reduce dietary inequalities should take subgroup differences into consideration.…”

Background/objectives Socioeconomic inequalities in diet quality are consistently reported, but few studies have investigated whether and how such inequalities vary across ethnic groups. This study aimed to examine differences in diet quality and socioeconomic patterning of diet quality across ethnic groups. Subjects/methods Cross-sectional data from the HELIUS study were used. Dutch, South-Asian Surinamese, African Surinamese, Ghanaian, Turkish and Moroccan adults (aged 18-70 years) were randomly sampled, stratified by ethnicity. Dietary intake was estimated among a subsample (n = 4602) from 200-item, ethnic-specific food frequency questionnaires, and diet quality was assessed using the Dutch Healthy Diet Index 2015 (DHD15-Index). Wald tests were used to compare non-Dutch and Dutch participants. Adjusted linear regression models were used to examine differences in DHD15-Index by three indicators of socioeconomic position: educational level, occupational status and perceived financial difficulties. All analyses were stratified by sex. Results Dutch participants had lower median DHD15-Index than most ethnic minority participants (P < 0.001). Lower educational level was associated with lower DHD15-Index among Dutch men (P trend < 0.0001), South-Asian Surinamese men (P trend = 0.01), Dutch women (P trend = 0.0001), African Surinamese women (P trend = 0.002) and Moroccan women (P trend = 0.04). Lower occupational status was associated with lower DHD15-Index in Dutch men, β −7.8 (95% CI −11.7, −3.9) and all women (β −4.4 to −8.8), except Turkish women. DHD15-Index was not associated with perceived financial difficulties in most groups. Conclusions We observed variations in diet quality across ethnic groups. Low socioeconomic position was not consistently associated with poor diet quality in all ethnic groups. This may be due to ethnicity-specific retention of traditional diets, irrespective of socioeconomic position.

“…Dietary diversity score (DDS) is an indicator for assessing the entire diet (15). A diverse diet can prevent either high or low intake of a nutrient (16). It is also combined with more consumption of micronutrients and macronutrients, as well as nutritional adequacy and quality (15).…”

Background:The prevalence of obesity in the world shows the impact of environmental factors such as sex, marital status, and changes in eating patterns as well as the replacement of high-fat diets rather than healthy diets. Objectives:The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between dietary diversity score, general obesity, and abdominal obesity among female athlete students of Mazandaran University of Medical Science. Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 143 healthy amateur athletes aged 18 to 28 years old were randomly selected as female students. The usual food intake was evaluated using a 24-hour recall questionnaire for three consecutive days. Dietary scores were calculated based on scores of five food groups. Weight, height, waist circumference, and hip circumference were measured based on standard methods. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression were used. Results:There was an inverse and significant relationship between the dietary diversity score and general and abdominal obesity in amateur female students (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusions:There is an inverse and significant relationship between the adherence to a high-diversity diet and obesity patterns. Finding dietary patterns associated with obesity can help obesity prevention and provide a healthy diet for controlling this epidemic in the community.On the other hand, various dietary and non-dietary factors are associated with general obesity and abdominal
