背景中国移民在美国移民后，体重增加和慢性病的风险增加。目前尚不清楚心理社会压力是否会影响她们的饮食行为。本研究的目的是调查费城地区426名华裔移民女性的心理社会压力和饮食摄入量。方法参与者完成了为期4天的饮食回忆和问卷调查，评估过去一年中积极和消极的生活事件以及与移民相关的压力。结果在分层线性回归模型中，积极的生活事件与较高的能量摄入量相关(β= 21.1，p= 0.04)。迁移相关应激与低总摄入量(β= −11.3，p<； 0.0001)和总谷物摄入量(β= −0.18，p= 0.03)、高能量密度(β= 0.002，p= 0.04)和高脂肪能量百分比(β= 0.06，p= 0.05)相关。这种饮食习惯可能会对这一移民群体未来的慢性病风险产生影响。
BackgroundChinese immigrants experience increased risk for weight gain and chronic disease after US migration. Whether psychosocial stress affects their eating behavior is unknown.PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine psychosocial stress and dietary intake among 426 Chinese immigrant women in the Philadelphia region.MethodsParticipants completed 4 days of dietary recalls and questionnaires assessing positive and negative life events in the past year and migration-related stressors.ResultsIn hierarchical linear regression models, positive life events were associated with higher energy intake (β= 21.1,p= 0.04). Migration-related stress was associated with lower total gram (β= −11.3,p< 0.0001) and overall grain (β= −0.18,p= 0.03) intake and higher energy density (β= 0.002,p= 0.04) and percent energy from fat (β= 0.06,p= 0.05).ConclusionsMigration-related stress did not increase overall intake in terms of energy and total grams but selectively increased fat intake and energy density. Such dietary habits may have implications for future chronic disease risk in this immigrant population.
