To examine differences in eating and physical activity behaviours among ethnic groups in Queensland, Australia, and differences in those behaviours due to the duration of residency in Australia.
Cross-sectional study using baseline data collected for the Living Well Multicultural-Lifestyle Modification Program between October 2014 and June 2017.
Culturally and linguistically diverse communities (CALD), including Afghani, Somali, Burmese, Pacific and South Sea Islander, Sri Lankan, Sudanese and Vietnamese, living in Queensland, Australia.
People were recruited if they were ≥18 years old and living in the targeted CALD communities.
Burmese/Vietnamese, on average, had better eating scores in line with Australian dietary guidelines, compared with Afghani/Arabic-speaking (difference = 2·05 points, 95 % CI 1·39, 2·72), Somali/Sudanese (difference = 1·53 points, 95 % CI 0·79, 2·28) and Pacific Islander (difference = 1·46 points, 95 % CI 0·79, 2·13). Association between ethnicity and meeting the physical activity guideline was not significant. Those who stayed in Australia longer than a year were less likely to meet the physical activity guideline than those staying <1 year (OR = 0·51, 95 % CI 0·31, 0·84). There was no significant association between duration of residency in Australia and eating scores.
Eating behaviours were significantly different among the ethnic groups in Queensland with Burmese/Vietnamese and Sri Lankan/Bhutanese having the healthiest diets. All ethnic groups were less likely to meet the physical activity guideline compared with the general Australian population. People with duration of residency of at least 1 year in Australia were less likely to meet the physical activity guideline compared with those who had shorter stays.
调查澳大利亚昆士兰州不同族裔群体的饮食和身体活动行为差异，以及因在澳居住时间长短而导致的这些行为差异。
使用 2014 年 10 月至 2017 年 6 月期间为生活方式多元文化调整计划收集的基线数据进行的横断面研究。
文化和语言多样化社区（CALD），包括阿富汗人、索马里人、缅甸人、太平洋和南海岛民、斯里兰卡人、苏丹人和越南人，居住在澳大利亚昆士兰州。
如果参与者年龄≥18 岁且居住在目标 CALD 社区，则招募他们。
与阿拉伯语阿富汗/阿拉伯语人群（差异= 2.05 分，95%CI 1.39,2.72）、索马里/苏丹语人群（差异= 1.53 分，95%CI 0.79,2.28）和太平洋岛民（差异= 1.46 分，95%CI 0.79,2.13）相比，缅甸/越南语人群的饮食评分更符合澳大利亚饮食指南。种族与达到身体活动指南之间没有显著关联。在澳大利亚居住时间超过 1 年的人比居住时间<1 年的人更不可能达到身体活动指南（OR=0.51，95%CI 0.31,0.84）。在澳大利亚居住时间的长短与饮食评分之间没有显著关联。
昆士兰州不同族裔群体的饮食行为存在显著差异，其中缅甸/越南语和斯里兰卡/不丹语群体的饮食最健康。与一般澳大利亚人群相比，所有族裔群体达到身体活动指南的可能性都较小。在澳大利亚居住时间至少 1 年的人比居住时间较短的人更不可能达到身体活动指南。
