“…This has been influenced very strongly by the access to mass media such as television. Urban diets are higher in fat content, higher in sugar and salt content, and contain higher amounts of meat and dairy products than rural ones and contain lower amounts of fiber and higher intakes of alcohol (Popkin, 2002). The trend towards FAFH is also strong among the poorest segments of urban populations.…”

Objectives: The aims of the study were to provide information that will contribute to conceptualising what is called 'dietary Westernisation', and to provide an example of measuring it on an individual level. Design: Food consumption frequency and demographic data on adults in Mauritius were examined in 1988, 1992 and 1998. In 1992, a 24-hour recall was also included. The cross-sectional samples consisted of 1115 (age 25-74 years) Mauritians in 1987/88, 1917 (age 30-74 years) in 1992 and 2239 (age 20-74 years) in 1998. Principal components analysis was carried out on daily consumption frequencies of 10 indicator foods (white rice, white bakery bread, pulses, processed meat, poultry, fresh/frozen fish, butter, margarine, whole milk and skimmed/low-fat milk). Correlations between dietary patterns and selected food consumption frequencies were examined in each survey year. Results: Four dietary patterns were identified as being related to dietary Westernisation. The Traditional dietary pattern was characterised by higher consumption frequencies of Indian breads, salted/smoked fish and sugar-sweetened tea. The Western dietary pattern was characterised by higher consumption frequencies of cakes/pastries, meat and many Western fast foods like burgers, but, surprisingly, also by brown bread, breakfast cereals and salad. The Bread/butter dietary pattern predominantly described more frequent consumption of bread compared with rice. The Margarine/milk dietary pattern was inconsistently related with staple foods. Younger, educated and wealthier Mauritians appeared to adopt Western dietary patterns earlier.Conclusions: This study suggests that relatively few indicator foods are needed for measuring dietary Westernisation. Dietary Westernisation in a non-Western country may also include shifts towards voluntary consumption of healthier foods.

“…17 Although our differences in obesity are generally not statistically significant, they are consistent directionally with other literature suggesting that in the middle of the health transition, obesity may be higher among the economically better off because of traditionally positive associations between social status and body weight in developing countries. [17][18][19][20] This finding recalls the pre-transition era in now developed nations when being obese was associated with being rich and being thin was associated with being poor. 21 Similar patterns have also been observed among minority group members in the United States.…”

Abstract. This paper uses newly collected household survey data from Accra, Ghana, to investigate whether incomes affect acute and chronic health outcomes in settings that can be considered representative for the large and rapidly growing urban centers of sub-Saharan Africa. The Time Use and Health Study in Accra collected information on incomes, current health status, and health care use from 5,484 persons in 1,250 households, each repeatedly sampled on a rolling basis for a period of 13 weeks. Data collection took place during
