“…Among the Bubis in Madrid, two dietary patterns were identified. Most participants adhered to the ‘healthier’ pattern, which was associated with a higher consumption of fish, fruits, vegetables, legumes, dairy products and bread [16]. Similar to the ‘mixed’ patterns in the present study, the ‘healthier’ pattern among Bubis was strongly related to female sex, longer duration of residence in Spain, and former smoking.…”

Background: West African immigrants in Europe are disproportionally affected by metabolic conditions compared to European host populations. Nutrition transition through urbanisation and migration may contribute to this observations, but remains to be characterised.Objective: We aimed to describe the dietary behaviour and its socio-demographic factors among Ghanaian migrants in Europe and their compatriots living different Ghanaian settings.Methods: The multi-centre, cross-sectional RODAM (Research on Obesity and Diabetes among African Migrants) study was conducted among Ghanaian adults in rural and urban Ghana, and Europe. Dietary patterns were identified by principal component analysis.Results: Contributions of macronutrient to the daily energy intake was different across the three study sites. Three dietary patterns were identified. Adherence to the ‘mixed’ pattern was associated with female sex, higher education, and European residency. The ‘rice, pasta, meat, and fish’ pattern was associated with male sex, younger age, higher education, and urban Ghanaian environment. Adherence to the ‘roots, tubers, and plantain’ pattern was mainly related to rural Ghanaian residency.Conclusion: We observed differences in food preferences across study sites: in rural Ghana, diet concentrated on starchy foods; in urban Ghana, nutrition was dominated by animal-based products; and in Europe, diet appeared to be highly diverse.

“…Something similar was observed in a study among 213 migrants from Equatorial Guinea (Bubis) living in Madrid; the diet was richer in protein intake and lower in fat than the original Guinean diet [16]. Among the Bubis in Madrid, two dietary patterns were identified.…”

“…Dairy products, meat, fish, raw vegetables, and fruits were eaten on a daily basis, while eggs, potatoes, and pulses were eaten weekly. 24 Likewise, Montoya et al 25 reported that first-and second-generation immigrants (n = 356), aged 6-12 years living in Madrid, consumed more fruits, vegetables, legumes, and eggs but less fish and dairy products than the indigenous Spaniards, suggesting that the young immigrants had healthier diets.…”

A systematic review of the literature suggests the dietary habits of some ethnic groups living in Europe are likely to become less healthy as individuals increase consumption of processed foods that are energy dense and contain high levels of fat, sugar, and salt. Such products often replace healthy dietary components of the native diet, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains. Mixed food habits are emerging mainly amongst younger people in the second and third generations, most likely due to acculturation and adoption of a Western lifestyle. Age and immigrant generation are the major factors accounting for changes in dietary habits, whilst income, level of education, dietary laws, religion, and food beliefs are also important factors. Obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension present major problems for the mainstream European population. However, the risk of chronic disease is reported to be higher in ethnic populations, particularly South Asians, African Caribbeans, and Mexicans.

“…The same study found that children of Asian and Middle‐Eastern cultural background spent more time per week than their English‐speaking background counterparts engaged in sedentary behaviours. Other studies in countries, such as the United States and Spain, have reported that immigrants of African origin fare the worst [16], [23–27].…”

Over and undernutrition in the children of Australian immigrants: Assessing the influence of birthplace of primary carer and English language use at home on the nutritional status of 4–5-year-olds

There is a relationship between main language spoken at home and nutritional status in 4-5-year-old boys but not girls. The use of English language at home may be a protective factor for normal weight in young boys. After adjustment for socio-economic and demographics characteristics, there was a negligible relationship between overweight/obesity in children and their primary carer's country of birth.
