To characterize the diet and eating habits of adult immigrants of Chinese origin residing in Santa Coloma de Gramenet (Barcelona, Spain), and to identify the factors that influence the changes in diet and eating habits.
Qualitative study conducted in 2017 through a discussion group with eight adults of Chinese origin (one man and seven women). The information was complemented by five interviews with key informants (three men and two women) and non-participant observation in health promotion workshops aimed at Chinese patients of a health center in Santa Coloma de Gramenet.
Chinese adults made three meals a day and tended to snack between meals. Their diet was based on rice, soy and proteins of vegetable origin. Participants rarely consumed milk and milk derivatives but highlighted their consumption of snacks, sugary drinks and pastries, as well as the incorporation of foods, new dishes and cooking techniques from the host country. The Chinese immigrants tried to maintain their diet of origin, however there were various barriers to this, such as the preference of the local diet by the children, work schedules and lack of time.
A tendency towards dietary acculturation is observed among the participants. Health promotion activities aimed at Chinese families are needed to improve aspects of their diet and eating habits, aiming to reduce the consumption of snacks and sugary products.
描述居住在圣科洛马-德格拉梅内特（西班牙巴塞罗那）的成年华裔移民的饮食和饮食习惯，并确定影响饮食和饮食习惯变化的因素。
2017年进行的定性研究，通过与八名华裔成年人（一名男性和七名女性）组成的讨论小组进行。通过对五名关键信息提供者（三名男性和两名女性）的访谈以及在圣科洛马-德格拉梅内特一家健康中心针对中国患者举办的健康促进研讨会上的非参与观察对信息进行补充。
华裔成年人一日三餐，且倾向于在两餐之间吃零食。他们的饮食以大米、大豆和植物性蛋白质为基础。参与者很少食用牛奶及奶制品，但强调了他们对零食、含糖饮料和糕点的消费，以及对来自东道国的食物、新菜肴和烹饪技巧的接受。华裔移民试图保持他们原有的饮食习惯，然而对此存在各种障碍，例如孩子对当地饮食的偏好、工作时间表和时间不足。
在参与者中观察到饮食文化适应的趋势。需要针对华裔家庭开展健康促进活动，以改善他们的饮食和饮食习惯，目标是减少零食和含糖产品的消费。
