[eng] Objectives: To investigate the eating habits of different immigrants’ subgroups living in Southern Spain, considering variables such as sex, country of origin and length of residence in the host country. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study with mixed methodology was conducted between 2017 and 2019 using selfadministered anonymous questionnaires for the quantitative survey and face to face interviews for the qualitative study. A total of 249 immigrants participated in the quantitative phase and 30 of them participated in the qualitative phase. Sociodemographic, type of diet, eating habits and health problems were evaluated. A multiple correspondence analysis were used. Results: Those immigrants living in Spain for a longer time tended to consume more Spanish food and those men consumed more alcohol. Asian immigrants ate more in their workplaces and consumed more origin food and alcoholic beverages, Africans tended to consume less alcohol due to cultural beliefs, and Latinos consumed more Spanish food and more fat foods. Conclusions: The eating habits of immigrants living in Southern Spain can vary according to their sex, country of origin and length of residence. Government should be aware of the reasons for these diet patterns and which strategies could be used to mitigate eating problems. Knowing the eating patterns of the immigrant population by nurses, presents an opportunity to develop cultural competence in clinical practice. This can help to maintain health and address health problems through healthy eating. All of these efforts can ultimately contribute to improving the quality of care perceived by patients. |

Métodos: Este estudio descriptivo transversal con metodología mixta se llevó a cabo entre 2017 y 2019 utilizando cuestionarios anónimos auto administrados para la encuesta cuantitativa y entrevistas cara a cara para el estudio cualitativo. Un total de 249 inmigrantes participaron en la fase cuantitativa y 30 de ellos participaron en la fase cualitativa. Se evaluaron los datos sociodemográficos, el tipo de dieta, los hábitos alimentarios y los problemas de salud. Se utilizó un análisis de correspondencias múltiples. Resultados: Los inmigrantes que llevaban más tiempo viviendo en España tendían a consumir más comida española y los hombres consumían más alcohol. Los inmigrantes asiáticos comían más en sus lugares de trabajo y consumían más comida de origen y bebidas alcohólicas, los africanos tendían a consumir menos alcohol debido a creencias culturales y los latinos consumían más comida española y más alimentos grasos. Conclusiones: Los hábitos alimentarios de los inmigrantes que viven en el sur de España pueden variar en función de su sexo, país de origen y tiempo de residencia. Las administraciones públicas deberían conocer las razones de estos patrones alimentarios y qué estrategias podrían utilizarse para mitigar los problemas alimentarios. Conocer los patrones alimentarios de la población inmigrante por parte de las enfermeras, presenta una oportunidad para desarrollar la competencia cultural en la práctica clínica. Esto puede ayudar a mantener la salud y a abordar los problemas de salud a través de una alimentación saludable. Todos estos esfuerzos pueden contribuir, en última instancia, a mejorar la calidad de la atención percibida por los pacientes.Reial Acadèmia de Medicina de les Illes Balears2025info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://ibdigital.uib.es/greenstone/sites/oai-site/collect/medicinaBalear/index/assoc/AJHS_Med/icina_Ba/lear_202/5v40n2p0/32.dir/AJHS_Medicina_Balear_2025v40n2p032.pdfhttp://ibdigital.uib.es/greenstone/library/collection/medicinaBalear/document/AJHS_Medicina_Balear_2025v40n2p032reponame:Biblioteca Digital de les Illes Balearsinstname:Universidad de las Islas BalearesInglésAcademic Journal of Health Sciences 2025, vol. 40, n. 2, pp. 32-42All rights reservedinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessmedicinaBalear:AJHS_Medicina_Balear_2025v40n2p0322026-05-28T12:40:11Z |
