Non-communicable diseases disproportionately affect African migrants from sub-Saharan Africa living in high-income countries (HICs). Evidence suggests this is largely driven by forces that include migration, globalisation of unhealthy lifestyles (poor diet, physical inactivity and smoking), unhealthy food environments, socio-economic status and population ageing. Changes in lifestyle behaviours that accompany migration are exemplified primarily by shifts in dietary behaviours from more traditional diets to a diet that incorporates that of the host culture, which promotes the development of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and CVD. The current paper presents a critical analysis of dietary change and how this is influenced by the food environment and the socio-economic context following migration. We used a food systems framework to structure the discussion of the interaction of factors across the food system that shape food environments and subsequent dietary changes among African migrant populations living in HICs.
非传染性疾病对生活在高收入国家（HICs）的撒哈拉以南非洲裔移民影响尤为严重。有证据表明，这在很大程度上是由多种因素驱动的，这些因素包括移民、不健康生活方式（不良饮食、缺乏身体活动和吸烟）的全球化、不健康的食物环境、社会经济地位以及人口老龄化。移民过程中生活方式行为的变化主要表现为饮食行为从更传统的饮食转向融入东道国文化的饮食，这促进了肥胖、糖尿病、高血压和心血管疾病的发展。本文对饮食变化进行了批判性分析，并探讨了移民后食物环境和社会经济背景如何对其产生影响。我们使用了一个食物系统框架来构建对食物系统中各种因素相互作用的讨论，这些因素塑造了食物环境以及生活在高收入国家的非洲移民群体随后的饮食变化。
