To explore the social and cultural influences on food intake in 2 non-Western migrant origin groups. The authors were particularly interested in the influence of the traditional culture and its relevance within the context of migration and associated changes in social, economic and cultural context, including acculturation.
Qualitative focus group discussions.
City of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Young adults of Turkish and Moroccan migrant origin.
Social and cultural influences on food intake.
Focus groups were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using framework analysis.
A dominant theme that emerged is that of hospitality and the central role of food herein. Hospitality is rooted within the cultural and religious tradition of both groups. Additional themes that emerged were: cultural identity; migration and lifestyle change; and acculturation.
Among Dutch residents of Turkish and Moroccan migrant origin, the central role of food in culture coupled with the changes that come about as a result of migration create an environment of abundance that can lead to overeating, which may impact energy balance and overweight development. These results indicate that younger members of migrant origin populations continue to value their traditional food cultures, underpinning the need for interventions to be culturally sensitive.
探讨社会和文化因素对两个非西方移民群体食物摄入的影响。作者尤其关注传统文化的影响及其在移民背景下的相关性，以及伴随的社会、经济和文化背景变化，包括文化适应。
定性焦点小组讨论。
荷兰阿姆斯特丹市。
土耳其和摩洛哥移民后裔的年轻人。
社会和文化因素对食物摄入的影响。
焦点小组讨论进行录音、转录，并采用框架分析法进行分析。
出现的一个主要主题是好客以及食物在其中的核心作用。好客植根于两个群体的文化和宗教传统。出现的其他主题包括：文化认同；移民与生活方式变化；以及文化适应。
在土耳其和摩洛哥移民后裔的荷兰居民中，食物在文化中的核心作用以及移民带来的变化营造了一个富足的环境，可能导致暴饮暴食，进而影响能量平衡和超重问题的发展。这些结果表明，移民群体的年轻成员仍然重视他们的传统饮食文化，这凸显了干预措施在文化上保持敏感性的必要性。
