Place of origin and place of current residence may shape migrants' health-related behaviors. Using the nationally-representative US New Immigrant Survey (n = 7930), we examined associations between country of origin, state of residence, and dietary changes among foreign-born adults. 65% of migrants reported dietary change since immigration (mean score = 7.3; range = 1-10); 6% of the variance was explained by country of origin characteristics; 1.6% by US state of residence; 1.4% by their interaction. Country of origin factors, specifically availability of animal source foods and sweets, were associated with dietary change, availability of sweets also including greater abandonment of specific foods and adoption of others.
原籍国和当前居住地可能会影响移民的健康相关行为。本研究使用具有全国代表性的美国新移民调查(n=7930),考察了原籍国、居住州与外国出生成年人饮食变化之间的关系。65%的移民报告称自移民以来饮食发生了变化(平均得分为 7.3;范围为 1-10);原籍国特征解释了 6%的差异,美国居住州解释了 1.6%的差异,其交互作用解释了 1.4%的差异。原籍国因素,特别是动物源食品和甜食的可获得性,与饮食变化有关,甜食的可获得性还包括对某些食物的放弃和对其他食物的采用。
