Abstract
A 1-year pilot cross-sectional study was performed to assess eating behaviours and lifestyle among Chinese and Arab pregnant immigrants to Italy. A number of 95 Chinese and 83 Arab women were interviewed. Two ethnic-specific food frequency questionnaires were designed to reflect the habitual diet of women belonging to these ethnic groups. Food items frequency of consumption was discussed using healthy eating guidelines. In both populations, women met healthy eating guidelines, except for salt intake, which was double than recommended; meat, sweet products and sugar-sweetened beverages were consumed more frequently than recommended, while olive oil and yogurt were eaten less frequently. Chinese women did not reach the recommendations for dairy products and fatty fish and exceeded those for red and processed meat, whereas Arab women exceeded the recommendations for cheese. Our findings suggest that the Italian food environment did not significantly affect Chinese and Arab pregnant immigrants' diet.
