“…This could be due to variations in food insecurity, availability, affordability, food cultures/taboos, agricultures, and economies between the countries [36][37][38][39] . Our findings also differ from dietary patterns identified in studies targeting Lebanon 40 , Mexican 17 and Brazilian adults 41 . The study from Lebanon found 'Western pattern' (potato, grains, soda, sweets, pizza, meat, fast foods, poultry, fat/oils, and nuts), 'traditional pattern' (fruits, vegetables, legumes, olives, whole bread, hot drinks, dried foods, crushed wheat, starchy vegetables, eggs), and 'fish pattern' (fish, alcoholic beverage, light soda, low-fat diet products, mayonnaise, breakfast cereals).…”

“…Whereas the Mexican dietary patterns include 17 : ‘Westernized’ (high intake of refined cereals, snacks, desserts, sweets and sugar, pastries, soda), high animal fat and protein (eggs, poultry, red meats, sausages, and alcohol), and ‘prudent’ (high consumption of vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, fruits and whole grains). A study of Brazilian adults also identified the following patterns 41 :‘Western’ (pizza/pasta, stroganoff, hamburgers, sweets, chocolate, soft drinks, processed meat), ‘snacks and processed foods’ (cheese, cream cheese, snacks toasted, natural spices, alcohol, olive oils/oils), ‘healthy’ (breakfast cereals, semi and skim milk, yogurt and fermented milk, vegetable, fruits, natural fruit juices), ‘traditional Brazilian’ (meat red and pork, beans, rice and roots, caffeinated beverage). Although there are some common characteristics in the type of foods categorized in the westernized dietary patterns and the traditional dietary patterns with the previous studies, the variations across these studies show the difficulty of establishing a common dietary pattern applicable to other settings, such as sub–Saharan Africans, as they are in the early stage of nutritional transition 36 , 42 .…”

Unhealthy dietary habit is a major contributor to the burden of non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and hypertension, especially the increased burden in low- and middle-income countries. Evidence of the association between specific dietary patterns and health outcomes is scarce in sub–Saharan African countries. This study aimed to identify principal dietary patterns and evaluate associations with metabolic risk factors including hypertension, overweight/obesity, and abdominal obesity in Northwest Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among adults in Bahir Dar, Northwest Ethiopia, from 10 May 2021 to 20 June 2021. Dietary intake was collected using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Anthropometric (weight, height, hip/waist circumference) and blood pressure measurements were performed using standardized tools. Principal component analysis was conducted to derive dietary patterns. Chi-square and logistic regression analyses were used to examine the association between dietary patterns and metabolic risk factors and with sociodemographic and individual risk factors. This study derives two types of dietary patterns: ‘westernized’ dietary pattern, which is positively correlated with consumption of meat, dairy, fast foods, alcohol, fish, sweet/sugary foods, and fruits, and ‘traditional’ dietary pattern, which is positively correlated with intake of cereals, vegetables, legumes, roots/tubers, coffee, and oils. The prevalence of hypertension was significantly lower in adults with higher quantiles of westernized dietary pattern (AOR = 0.28, 95% CI 0.13 to 0.60; p < 0.01; quantile three); and (AOR = 0.35, 95% CI 0.17, 0.75; p < 0.01; quantile four). Younger, married, and middle-income adults were associated with the highest quantile of the westernized pattern. Being females and having middle income associated with the highest quantile of traditional dietary patterns (p < 0.05). This study suggested two types of dietary patterns, westernized and traditional, among adults in Northwest Ethiopia and revealed a significant association with metabolic risk factors like hypertension. Identifying the main dietary patterns in the population could be informative to consider local-based dietary recommendations and interventions to reduce metabolic risk factors.

“…A total of 28 248 articles ( published between 2003 and 2023) were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE (Table S1 †). After removing duplicates, screening titles and abstracts, and conducting full-text screening, 41 studies were included in this analysis with four cohort studies, [36][37][38][39] three case-control studies, 18,20,40 25 cross-sectional studies, 8,9,15,19,21,22,[41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59] and nine interventional studies. 16,17,[60][61][62][63][64][65][66] The characteristics of the included studies are presented in Table 1.…”
