随着墨西哥裔美国女性和男性移民到美国和/或变得更加适应文化，他们的饮食可能会变得不太健康，从而增加患心血管疾病的风险。第三次全国健康和营养检查调查（1988-1994）的数据被用来比较三组25-64岁的墨西哥裔美国女性（n = 1,449）和男性（n = 1,404）的能量、营养和食物摄入量是否存在差异：出生在墨西哥的人、出生在主要语言是西班牙语的美国的人以及出生在美国主要语言是英语的人。还比较了符合国家脂肪、纤维和钾膳食指南以及与心血管疾病相关的维生素和矿物质推荐摄入量的人的百分比。一般来说，出生在墨西哥的墨西哥裔美国人消耗的脂肪明显较少，纤维明显较多；维生素 A、C、E 和 B6；叶酸、钙、钾和镁的含量高于美国出生的人，无论说什么语言。与在美国出生的人相比，更多在墨西哥出生的女性和男性符合饮食指南或建议的营养摄入量。生活在美国的所有墨西哥裔美国人都应该鼓励墨西哥男女的心脏健康饮食，特别是考虑到这个快速增长的美国人群体的肥胖和糖尿病水平不断上升。
As Mexican-American women and men migrate to the United States and/or become more acculturated, their diets may become less healthy, increasing their risk of cardiovascular disease. Data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994) were used to compare whether energy, nutrient, and food intakes differed among three groups of Mexican-American women (n = 1,449) and men (n = 1,404) aged 25-64 years: those born in Mexico, those born in the United States whose primary language was Spanish, and those born in the United States whose primary language was English. Percentages of persons who met the national dietary guidelines for fat, fiber, and potassium and the recommended intakes of vitamins and minerals associated with cardiovascular disease were also compared. In general, Mexican Americans born in Mexico consumed significantly less fat and significantly more fiber; vitamins A, C, E, and B6; and folate, calcium, potassium, and magnesium than did those born in the United States, regardless of language spoken. More women and men born in Mexico met the dietary guidelines or recommended nutrient intakes than those born in the United States. The heart-healthy diets of women and men barn in Mexico should be encouraged among all Mexican Americans living in the United States, especially given the increasing levels of obesity and diabetes among this rapidly growing group of Americans.
