This study assessed dietary intakes, nutritional composition, and identified commonly eaten foods among Jamaicans in Florida. Dietary intake was assessed among 44 study participants to determine commonly eaten foods and nutrient composition. Weighed recipes were collected and analyzed to determine nutrient composition for traditional foods. Top foods that contributed to macronutrient and micronutrient intake were identified and adherence to dietary recommendations was evaluated. Mean daily energy intake was 2879 (SD 1179) kcal and 2242 (SD 1236) kcal for men and women respectively. Mean macronutrient intakes were above dietary recommendations for men and women. Top foods contributing to energy included rice and peas, sweetened juices, chicken, red peas soup, and hot chocolate drink. Results showed sodium intake was more than double the adequate intake estimate (1300-1500 mg). Findings highlight the need to include commonly eaten traditional foods in dietary questionnaires to accurately assess diet-related chronic disease risk. Findings have implications for risk factor intervention and prevention efforts among Jamaicans.
本研究评估了佛罗里达州牙买加人的饮食摄入、营养成分，并确定了他们常吃的食物。对 44 名研究参与者的饮食摄入进行评估，以确定常吃的食物和营养成分。收集并分析称重食谱以确定传统食物的营养成分。确定了对宏量营养素和微量营养素摄入有贡献的主要食物，并评估了对饮食建议的遵守情况。男性和女性的平均日能量摄入量分别为 2879（SD 1179）千卡和 2242（SD 1236）千卡。男性和女性的宏量营养素摄入量平均值均高于饮食建议。对能量摄入贡献最大的食物包括米饭和豌豆、加糖果汁、鸡肉、红豆汤和热巧克力饮料。结果表明，钠的摄入量是适宜摄入量估计值（1300-1500mg）的两倍多。研究结果表明，需要在饮食问卷中纳入常吃的传统食物，以准确评估与饮食相关的慢性病风险。这些发现对牙买加人的危险因素干预和预防工作具有重要意义。
