2016 APR 22 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Health & Medicine Week -- Fresh data on Disease Attributes are
presented in a new report. According to news reporting originating from Hamilton, Canada, by NewsRx correspondents, research
stated, "To examine whether nutrient and food intakes among South Asian adult immigrants differ by length of residence in the USA.
Cross-sectional analysis to examine differences in nutrient and food intakes by length of residence in the USA."

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Population Health Research Institute, "Dietary data were collected using
an interviewer-administered, culturally appropriate FFQ, while self-reported length of residence was assessed using a questionnaire
and modelled as tertiles. The Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America (MASALA) study. Eight hundred and
seventy-four South Asians (mean age=55 (sd 9) years; 47 % women; range of length of residence in the USA=2-58 years), part of the
baseline examination of the MASALA study. Intakes of fat, including saturated and trans fats, dietary cholesterol and n-6 fatty acids,
were directly associated with length of residence, while intakes of energy, carbohydrate, glycaemic index and load, protein, dietary
fibre, folate and K were inversely associated with length of residence (P trend <005). A longer length of residence in the USA was
also associated with higher intakes of alcoholic beverages, mixed dishes including pizza and pasta, fats and oils, and lower intakes of
beans and lentils, breads, grains and flour products, milk and dairy products, rice, starchy vegetables and sugar, candy and jam (P
for differences across groups <005)."

According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Length of residence in the USA influences diet and nutrient intakes among
South Asian adult immigrants and should be considered when investigating and planning dietary interventions to mitigate chronic
disease risk."
