Greek immigrant children (GI) belonging to the second generation of immigrants in Sweden have been compared with Swedish children (S) and Greek children in Greece (G) regarding meal pattern and food habits. Interviews were performed in the homes. Meal pattern and frequency of consumption of various food items were studied by 24-hour recalls, and the food frequency interview method. The meal pattern and the distribution of meals and snacks during the day did not show large differences between the groups. In the GI and G groups it was common to start the day with milk and sugar. The same habit was reported before going to bed. It was common in the GI and G groups to have a prepared meal (dinner) relatively late in the evening. Of the S children only 55% had dinner. GI children had a less frequent intake of vegetables compared to S and G children. GI and G children were heavy consumers of sweets and snacks. In conclusion, the Greek immigrant group had food habits similar to those of Greek rural children with few distinctive exceptions. Greek immigrant families had no difficulties in preparing Greek food.
对瑞典第二代移民中的希腊移民儿童（GI）与瑞典儿童（S）以及希腊本土儿童（G）的用餐模式和饮食习惯进行了比较。在他们家中进行了访谈。通过24小时回忆法和食物频率访谈法，研究了用餐模式和各类食物的消费频率。各群体之间的用餐模式以及一日三餐和零食的分布情况并没有显著差异。在希腊移民儿童和希腊本土儿童群体中，常见的做法是早上起床和晚上睡觉前喝加了糖的牛奶。希腊移民儿童和希腊本土儿童群体通常在晚上较晚的时候吃一顿正餐（晚餐）。只有55%的瑞典儿童吃晚餐。与瑞典儿童和希腊本土儿童相比，希腊移民儿童摄入蔬菜的频率较低。希腊移民儿童和希腊本土儿童大量食用糖果和零食。总之，希腊移民群体的饮食习惯与希腊农村儿童相似，仅有一些个别例外情况。希腊移民家庭在准备希腊食物方面没有困难。
