“…This bicultural eating pattern reflects dietary acculturation (Satia‐Abouta, ). This dietary acculturation aligns with the findings of other studies on FAs (Johnson‐Kozlow et al., ), Chinese Americans and Chinese Canadians (Satia et al., ), Korean Americans (Kim, Lee, Yang‐Heui, Bowen, & Lee, ), Thais (Sukalakamala & Brittin, ), Hmong (Franzen & Smith, ), and Mexican Americans (Montez & Eschbach, ). In short, dietary acculturation resonates cross‐culturally.…”

“…Overall, individuals with higher SES are likely to have greater nutritional knowledge (Ball, Crawford, & Mishra, 2006; Turrell & Kavanagh, 2006) and to have the means to purchase more nutritious and less energy-dense food items that tend to cost more in the U.S. (Darmon, Briend, & Drewnowski, 2004; Drewnowski, Darmon, & Briend, 2004). Indeed, Asian immigrants of high SES have reported higher consumption of fruits and vegetables over time (Lv & Cason, 2004; Satia et al, 2001) or maintaining their high fruit and vegetable intake in the U.S. (Sukalakamala & Brittin, 2006). …”

Asian American children and adolescents are an under-investigated subpopulation in obesity research. Informed by a wide socioeconomic diversity among Asian American ethnic groups, this study explored ethnic-group socioeconomic status (SES) as an indicator of community-level disadvantage that may influence overweight/obesity in Asian American adolescents. We hypothesized that ethnic-group SES was inversely associated with overweight/obesity in Asian American adolescents. Multiple logistic regression models were fitted using a sample of 1,525 Asian American adolescents ages 12–17 from pooled 2007–2012 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data. Age, gender, nativity, individual-level SES (income and education), and two lifestyle variables (fast food consumption and physical activity) were controlled for. We found that adolescents in high- or middle-level SES ethnic groups were far less likely to be overweight/obese than those in low-SES ethnic groups. Further, these relationships were more pronounced for foreign-born adolescents but not significant for U.S.-born adolescents. Ethnic-group SES may be a meaningful indicator of community-level socioeconomic disparities that influence the health of Asian Americans and, potentially, other populations with high proportions of immigrants of diverse socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds.

“…Satia-About a et al (2002) found that highly educated immigrants and those with similar cultural or physical characteristics with the host country, are more likely to acculturate with considerable facility, which may mean adopting of some unhealthy practices. Many studies pointed out the difficulties that the immigrants have in maintaining their traditional eating habits (Ayala et al, 2008;Lv and Cason, 2004;Pan et al, 1999;Sukalakamala and Brittin, 2006;Yang et al, 2007).…”

Objective: To gauge the effect of different migration periods on the eating pattern of Portuguese university students.Methods/subjects: Fifty-five Portuguese students participated in a survey of food practices before and after moving from Portugal to London. The students were divided into two groups, the short term migration group, living in London less than one year, and the long term migration group, living in London more than one year. Forty-six English university students were used as a comparison to the Portuguese students. A questionnaire was administrated to assess the frequency of eating selected food, factors which may influence food choice and food preparation and purchasing behaviours.Results: After moving to London, the long term migration group adopted more dietary changes and seems to become more acculturated. Both Portuguese groups reported significant decrease in the weekly frequency of consumption of raw vegetables, fish, vegetable soup and red meat. The frequency of the consumption of savoury snacks, fast food and ready prepared meal increased and was similar to the English students' consumption. Conclusion:These findings highlight the difficulties that Portuguese students faced in maintaining a traditional Mediterranean diet after moving to a Northern European environment.
