Mongolian immigration into South Korea has increased rapidly over the last decade. It is important to better understand dietary patterns of immigrants because these patterns are associated with health risk. This study aimed to characterize dietary patterns of Mongolian immigrants in South Korea. Dietary intakes of 500 Mongolian adults living in South Korea were assessed using the interviewer-administered 24-h dietary recall method. By cluster analysis, three dietary patterns were identified: "Mongolian" (26%), "Transitional" (43%) and "Korean" (31%). The "Korean" pattern had a favorable food intake profile, with higher intakes of healthy foods, while the other patterns had features of an unhealthy diet. There were significant differences between the dietary patterns that were related to risk for chronic diseases. Overall, subjects following the "Korean" dietary pattern showed high adherence to World Health Organization recommendations for preventing diet-related chronic diseases, whereas the "Mongolian" and "Transitional" patterns showed low compliance. The results suggest the need for education programs targeting Mongolian immigrants who retain traditional dietary habits, to enhance their healthy food choices.
在过去十年中，蒙古人向韩国的移民迅速增加。更好地了解移民的饮食模式很重要，因为这些模式与健康风险相关。本研究旨在描述在韩国的蒙古移民的饮食模式。采用由访谈员主导的24小时饮食回顾法，对居住在韩国的500名蒙古成年人的饮食摄入量进行了评估。通过聚类分析，确定了三种饮食模式：“蒙古式”（26%）、“过渡式”（43%）和“韩式”（31%）。“韩式”模式的食物摄入情况较好，健康食品摄入量较高，而其他模式则具有不健康饮食的特征。这些饮食模式在与慢性病风险相关的方面存在显著差异。总体而言，遵循“韩式”饮食模式的受试者对世界卫生组织预防与饮食相关慢性病的建议依从性较高，而“蒙古式”和“过渡式”模式的依从性较低。结果表明，有必要针对保留传统饮食习惯的蒙古移民开展教育项目，以增加他们对健康食品的选择。
