The link between attitudes towards healthy diets and specific eating behaviors has been underexplored in Chinese settings. The aim of this study is to evaluate disparities in personal healthy eating prioritization among Chinese adults and its association with specific dietary patterns. \u0000Methods: Data from the 2011 China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) was used to examine healthy eating prioritization (how important “eating a healthy diet” was to participants) and its association with socio-demographic, interpersonal, and physical health variables, along with plant-based and healthy eating dietary patterns, and consumption of specific food groups. \u0000Results: Of the 13,653 participants with healthy eating prioritization data, 94% believed eating a healthy diet to be important. Odds of believe healthy eating to not be important was negatively associated with increased age (AOR:0.98, 95%CI:0.98-0.99), higher educational attainment (AOR:0.12, 95%CI: 0.07-0.19), living in urban environments (AOR:0.76, 95%CI:0.63-0.83), living with both parents (AOR:0.69, 95%CI:0.48-0.98), and past diagnosis of NCDs (AOR:0.76, 95%CI:0.59-0.96). Men and those who were single had higher odds of believing eating a healthy to not be important (AOR:1.36, 95%CI:1.08-1.71; AOR:1.36, 95%CI:1.08-1.71). Compared to those who believed eating a healthy diet to be important, those who did not had a lower odds of higher vegetable intake (AOR:0.77, 95%CI:0.62-0.96) and higher meat intake (AOR:0.80, 95%CI:0.63-1.00). \u0000Conclusion: Findings provide novel insights on how interventional and observational dietary attitude research in China may need to explore the unique role vegetable and meat intake play in the diet attitude-behavior link.","PeriodicalId":73612,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48968741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Weighted negative binomial regression was used to explore the effects of immigrant status on the number of missing teeth. Socioeconomic status and demographic characteristics were controlled for. \u0000RESULTS: Asians who do not speak English at home present 1.428 times higher likelihood of irregular dentist visits, and 1.487 times higher self-rated fair/poor oral health.

Foreign-born Asians present more missing teeth (OR=1.361) than their U.S.-born counterparts. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: Despite the fact that Asians are often regarded as “model minorities” and/or “successful immigrants”, those with lower immigrant statuses illustrated higher risk for irregular dentist visits and disadvantaged oral health status.","PeriodicalId":73612,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46693742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

South Asians are also at elevated risk for specific cardiovascular risk factors, including Type 2 diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and central distribution of fat (including visceral fat). The MASALA Study, a longitudinal cohort study of South Asians in the United States, found significantly elevated ectopic adiposity, increased insulin resistance, increased inflammatory markers, and decreased insulin sensitivity. To prevent cardiovascular disease, physicians and other medical providers must focus on mitigating known risks, including hypertension, diabetes, tobacco use, low physical activity levels, central obesity, coronary artery calcium (CAC), poor diet, and psychosocial factors. To proactively address these risks for South Asians, we must further educate healthcare providers, as well as advocate on behalf of South Asian people to ensure they have their blood pressure, cholesterol, and fasting glucose levels checked even if their BMI is normal or they follow a vegetarian diet. It is also essential to undertake culturally tailored outreach in specific South Asian communities to create educational materials regarding healthy behavior and lifestyle changes, including in languages needed by the most recent immigrants. Future research must include race, ethnicity, and native country of origin to better characterize the risk of stroke and heart attack and the impact of interventions among diasporic South Asian subgroups.","PeriodicalId":73612,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47610837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that psychological symptoms would be significant mediators in the pathways between discrimination and health.Research design and methods: The Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America (MASALA) Study examines risk factors for heart disease among South Asian Americans using self-reported and medical data collected from participants in the San Francisco Bay Area and Chicago regions of the U.S. (N=1164). For this study we assessed the associations among the everyday discrimination scale, symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger, and health outcomes using structural equation modeling.Results: We found significant positive associations between discrimination and symptoms of depression (ß .69, p<.0001), anger (ß .38, p<.0001), and anxiety (ß .64, p<.0001). Exposure to discrimination had a direct negative association with HDL level (ß -.37, p=.01). Indirect associations between discrimination and health outcomes were seen via depression (tobacco use: ß 1.08, p=.007), via anger (triglyceride level: 11.88, p=.03; alcohol consumption: ß 1.66, p=.002; calories consumed per day: ß 108.04, p=.02), and via anxiety (tobacco use: ß -1.05, p=.004; alcohol consumption: ß -1.88, p=.03).Conclusion: Our hypothesis was partially confirmed with proximate health indicators (tobacco use, alcohol consumption, caloric intake) and triglyceride levels.
