Minority ethnic groups are a fast-growing population in many high-income countries, partly due to the increasing population of immigrants and second-generation migrants. The dietary practices of some of these minority ethnic groups might make them to be disproportionately affected by obesity and increase their risks of developing non-communicable diseases. Population-specific interventions and strategies are vital to addressing poor nutritional practices among this population. Thus, this study systematically reviewed the perceptions of dietary intake amongst Black, Asian and other minority ethnic groups in high-income countries.
This systematic review was conducted in line with the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for systematic reviews, using a meta-aggregative design. This systematic review identified and synthesised qualitative literature on the perceptions of dietary intake amongst BlackAsian and other minority ethnic groups in high-income countries. An extensive and comprehensive database search was conducted between January 2000 - May 2022 and included twenty (20) studies that met the eligibility criteria from six countries. The included studies were assessed for quality using the JBI qualitative assessment and review instrument. The JBI data extraction tools were used to retrieve relevant data from included articles, and the data were thematically analysed.
We identified eight major themes across this database: (1) "Social and Cultural Factors," (2) "Availability and Accessibility," (3) "Family and Community Influences," (4) "Food Preferences", (5) "Home Country Food Versus Host Country Food" (6) "Dietary Acculturation" (7) "Health and Healthy Eating" (8) "Perception of Nutritional Information."
Overall, Black, Asian, and other minority ethnic groups individuals were found to be aware of the effects of unhealthy eating on their health, and some of them have nutritional knowledge, but social and cultural factors, including structural factors, were deterrents to their healthy eating behaviours. An important finding from this review is that some participants believed that nutritional information, based on bio-medical science, was intended for only White population groups and that it was antagonistic to their cultural and community well-being.
在许多高收入国家，少数族裔人口增长迅速，部分原因是移民和第二代移民人口不断增加。其中一些少数族裔的饮食习惯可能使他们更容易受到肥胖影响，并增加患非传染性疾病的风险。针对特定人群的干预措施和策略对于解决这一人群的不良营养习惯至关重要。因此，本研究系统回顾了高收入国家中黑人、亚洲人和其他少数族裔对饮食摄入的看法。
本系统评价按照乔安娜·布里格斯研究所（JBI）系统评价方法指南进行，采用元聚合设计。本系统评价识别并综合了关于高收入国家中黑人、亚洲人和其他少数族裔对饮食摄入看法的定性文献。在2000年1月至2022年5月期间进行了广泛而全面的数据库检索，纳入了来自六个国家的20项符合纳入标准的研究。使用JBI定性评估和审查工具对纳入的研究进行质量评估。使用JBI数据提取工具从纳入的文章中检索相关数据，并对数据进行主题分析。
我们在这个数据库中确定了八个主要主题：（1）“社会和文化因素”，（2）“可获得性和可及性”，（3）“家庭和社区影响”，（4）“食物偏好”，（5）“祖国食物与东道国食物”，（6）“饮食文化适应”，（7）“健康与健康饮食”，（8）“对营养信息的认知”。
总体而言，发现黑人、亚洲人和其他少数族裔个体意识到不健康饮食对其健康的影响，其中一些人具备营养知识，但包括结构因素在内的社会和文化因素阻碍了他们的健康饮食行为。本综述的一个重要发现是，一些参与者认为基于生物医学科学的营养信息仅针对白人人群，并且与他们的文化和社区福祉相悖。
