“…The limitations of this research include the absence of information on individual ethnicity. Asano et al [ 32 ] reported that Han Chinese female married immigrants did not show any statistically significant difference in food intake, dietary habits and dietary acculturation compared with the Korean-Chinese subjects after immigration to South Korea. The ethnicity of Chinese international students may differently affect dietary habits, acculturation and anthropometric parameters due to dissimilar food availability and accessibility.…”

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESInternational students face dissimilar food environments, which could lead to changes in dietary behaviors and anthropometric characteristics between before and after migration. We sought to examine the risk factors, including dietary behaviors, acculturation, and demographic characteristics, related to overweight subjects residing in South Korea.SUBJECTS/METHODSWe conducted a cross-sectional study, collecting data from 142 Chinese international students (63 males, 79 females) in 2013.RESULTSThe mean age of the subjects was 25.4 years, and almost half of them immigrated to South Korea to earn a master's degree or doctoral degree (n = 70, 49.3%). Chinese international students showed an increase in skipping meals and eating speed, but a decrease in the frequency of fruit and vegetable consumption in South Korea compared to when they lived in China. We found a statistically significant increase in weight (69.4 → 73.9 kg) and BMI (22.4 → 23.8 kg/m2) for male subjects (P < 0.001) but no change for female subjects. We also found that overweight subjects were more likely to be highly acculturated and male compared with normal-weight subjects.CONCLUSIONAmong Chinese international students living in South Korea, male and more highly acculturated subjects are more vulnerable to weight gain. This study provides useful information to design tailored nutrition intervention programs for Chinese international students.
