“…In the present study, 84 % of the older and 59 % of the younger women had an inadequate Ca intake. In other observations, up to 98 % of older Mexican-American women over 50 years of age did not meet the recommended intake of Ca (56) . Folate intake is of particular concern to childbearing Hispanic women, considering that neural tube defects are more prevalent in Hispanic women (60) , as is an increasing parity rate (61) .…”

Objective: To compare and evaluate the dietary quality of young and older sedentary Mexican-American women. Understanding key dietary concerns, while considering developmental transition periods and cultural relevance, can provide insight for developing appropriate nutrition interventions. Design: Cross-sectional dietary data were collected using unannounced 24 h diet recalls to assess nutrient intake adequacy (Estimated Average Requirement cut-point method) and dietary quality (Healthy Eating Index (HEI) 2010). Setting: Mujeres en Acción and Madres para la Salud, two community-based physical activity interventions. Subjects: Participants were 139 young (28 (SD 6) years) and 124 older (55 (SD 7) years) overweight/obese sedentary Mexican-American women (BMI = 25·0-35·0 kg/m 2 ) of low socio-economic status. Results: Older women consumed less Ca, Fe, folate, empty calories and energy from carbohydrate, but more fruit, vegetables, greens and beans, and fibre than younger women (all P < 0·05). Over 60 % of all participants had an intake below recommendations for fibre, Ca, vitamin E, vitamin C and folate. Both groups had low total HEI-2010 scores (62 for older and 63 for younger women; NS), with 57 % of older and 48 % of younger women classified as having a poor diet. Conclusions: Despite differences in nutrient requirements according to developmental transition periods (childbearing v. perimenopausal), overall, older and younger Mexican-American women generally had low-quality diets and may benefit from dietary quality improvement.

“…Neushouser et al [27] found that highly acculturated Mexican-Americans had slighter higher, but not statistically significant, scores of fat intake compared to their low acculturated counterparts. Gregory-Mercado et al [49] reported no significant association between acculturation and total fat intake in a sample of Mexican American women. In contrast, a positive association between acculturation and intake of dietary fat was reported in a national sample of youth [50].…”

“…Our findings differed from previously reported studies. Five earlier studies have examined acculturation in relation to dietary patterns among older adults (24,31,(37)(38)(39), but only two have focused on older MAs (24,31), and only one of those included information on folate intake and the proportion meeting folate recommendations. None have assessed folate intake from multiple sources.…”

“…We also excluded additional persons with (i) unrealistic caloric intake (i.e., <500 or >5000 kcals on either day one or day two (n ¼ 32) (31,32); (ii) persons missing one or more of the acculturation variables (i.e., language spoken or country of origin) (n ¼ 5) and for whom we had no additional data on language or country of origin; and (iii) persons missing information on supplement use (n ¼ 7). These exclusions left a final sample size of 712 older MAs (83.5% of the eligible sample).…”

Previous studies have shown that acculturation factors are associated with dietary patterns of older Mexican Americans (MAs), but the association of these factors with post-fortification folate intake is unknown. We estimated usual folate intakes for U.S. MAs aged ≥60 years (N = 712) by acculturation factors using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2006. Mean total folic acid and total folate, but not natural folate intakes, were lower for MAs with lower acculturation factors, and 16% of MAs had total folate intakes less than the estimated average requirement (EAR) of 320 µg/day. Most older U.S. MAs did not meet requirements from natural food folate intake alone, regardless of acculturation status, but their intakes were adequate when fortified foods and supplement sources were taken into account. Logistic regression models including age, sex, education, poverty, and acculturation factors indicated that low income, not acculturation, was significantly associated with intake below the EAR. Thus our findings indicate that the association of low acculturation with folate intake below the EAR is not independent of poverty. [Supplementary materials are available for this article. Go to the publisher's online edition of the Journal of Nutrition in Gerontology and Geriatrics for the following free supplemental resource: a table of the distribution of usual folate intake among Mexican Americans aged ≥60 years by sex, age, education level, poverty income ratio, and acculturation factors, from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2006.].

Ethnicity and Nutrient Intake among Arizona WISEWOMAN Participants

Abstract: Mexican American women had overall lower micronutrient intakes compared with uninsured non-Hispanic white older women; this difference may be attributed to their underreporting intake.
