“…Among adolescents, studies have focused on differences in eating behaviors between migrants and natives and between ethnic groups in their home country vs. in their host country. Two studies examined the differences in eating behavior between adolescents living in their home countries (Turkey and Germany) and Turkish migrant adolescents living in Germany [52]. The longitudinal study included adolescent Turkish migrants and adolescent Germans.…”

Purpose of ReviewTo summarize results of recent studies of migrants in Europe and North America and ongoing efforts to adapt strategies to provide them with inclusive sensitive health care. Recent Findings Major predisposing factors for developing hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome in migrating populations and refugees were identified. Susceptibility to the metabolic syndrome is predominantly due to environmental factors and psychological stress. Acculturation also contributes to the emergence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in first-generation adult immigrants. Increased risk for later development of hypertension and dyslipidemia has also been detected in adolescent immigrants. Targets for public health efforts were based on data that show important differences in CV risk factors and prevalence of the metabolic syndrome among ethnic immigrant groups. Studies in young adults focused on lifestyle and dietary behaviors and perceptions about weight and body image, while the focus for older adults was end-of-life issues. Summary Two important themes have emerged: barriers to health care, with a focus on cultural and language barriers, and violence and its impact on immigrants' mental health.

Abstract. Adolescent Turkish migrants constitute a high-risk group for unhealthy eating. The question stands whether acculturation should be considered a predictor for eating behavior. The present study examined the impact of acculturation by integrating it in the prototype-willingness model (PWM). A sample of adolescent Turkish migrants (N = 155) filled out a questionnaire at two waves. Acculturation, PWM variables, and eating behavior were assessed and analyzed with four structural equation models (unhealthy and healthy models). The augmented PWM accounted for 42.9 % and 37.5 % of eating behavior’s variance at Wave 1 and 2 in the unhealthy model, and for 16.2 % and 19.2 % in the healthy model. Only the reasoned action pathway was significant. Acculturation impacted eating behavior via attitudes and intention. It should be considered as additional model predictor and further target of healthy eating interventions.

Adolescent Turkish migrants’ eating behavior in Germany: A comparison to nonmigrants in the home and host countries based on the prototype-willingness model.

Abstract: Effective interventions on healthy eating for Turkish migrants need to be tailored according to their specific regulation of eating behavior.
