Studies on changing dietary patterns throughout the Asian region have focused largely on overall alterations in nutrient intakes and changes in the consumption of various food groups. Changes in individual meal patterns have received little attention. Although country and regional differences occur, the first meal of the day, breakfast, tends to take the form of a traditional meal in most south-east Asian countries. Grain and cereal products, such as rice and wheat and rice noodles, appear to be dietary staples at breakfast In some countries, the more traditional grain products are being replaced by alternative cereals, such as bread. Lifestyle changes and accompanying urbanization together with rising affluence, appear to be largely responsible for dietary alterations. The health implications of these changes require further investigation.
对亚洲地区饮食习惯变化的研究主要集中在营养素摄入量的总体变化以及各类食物组消费量的变化上。个体用餐模式的变化很少受到关注。尽管存在国家和地区差异，但在大多数东南亚国家，一天中的第一餐，即早餐，往往采取传统餐食的形式。谷物和谷类产品，如大米、小麦和米粉，似乎是早餐的主食。在一些国家，更传统的谷物产品正被诸如面包等替代谷物所取代。生活方式的改变以及随之而来的城市化进程，再加上富裕程度的提高，似乎在很大程度上导致了饮食结构的变化。这些变化对健康的影响需要进一步研究。
