Numerous studies have explored dietary practices among children, but there are limited studies on children of Asian background in the US. This review had three aims: (a) review literature regarding Asian-American youth's dietary behaviors, (b) critically evaluate the methodological quality of such research, and (c) provide recommendations for future nutrition-related research on Asian-American youth. The authors conducted a systematic literature review through MEDLINE (EBSCO), CINAHL Plus with Full Text (EBSCO), and Embase (Ovid); extracted descriptive data; and evaluated methodological quality. Thirteen articles were included. Major findings included: (a) frequent consumption of milk, fruit, meat, unenriched white rice, vegetables, and high-fat and high-sugar items among Asian-American children and (b) acculturation's influences on diet, resulting in Asian-American youth consuming diets characterized by both Asian and American foods. Findings from this review may inform education and promotion programs and services for Asian Americans in the US.
许多研究探讨了儿童的饮食习惯，但针对美国亚裔背景儿童的研究却很有限。本综述有三个目的：(a) 回顾有关亚裔美国青少年饮食行为的文献，(b) 批判性地评估此类研究的方法学质量，以及 (c) 为未来关于亚裔美国青少年的营养相关研究提供建议。作者通过MEDLINE（EBSCO）、CINAHL Plus with Full Text（EBSCO）和Embase（Ovid）进行了系统的文献综述；提取了描述性数据；并评估了方法学质量。纳入了13篇文章。主要发现包括：(a) 亚裔美国儿童经常食用牛奶、水果、肉类、未强化的白米、蔬菜以及高脂肪和高糖食品，以及 (b) 文化适应对饮食的影响，导致亚裔美国青少年的饮食兼具亚洲和美国食物的特点。本综述的结果可为美国亚裔的教育、推广项目及服务提供参考。
