- Abstract
Purpose: To investigate associations between dietary patterns, socio-demographic factors and anthropometric measurements in adult New Zealanders.Methods: Dietary patterns were identified using factor analysis in adults 15 years plus (n = 4657) using 24-h diet recall data from the 2008/09 New Zealand Adult Nutrition Survey. Multivariate regression was used to investigate associations between dietary patterns and age, gender and ethnicity. After controlling for demographic factors, associations between dietary patterns and food insecurity, deprivation, education, and smoking were investigated. Associations between dietary patterns and body mass index and waist circumference were examined adjusting for demographic factors, smoking and energy intake.Results: Two dietary patterns were identified. ‘Healthy’ was characterised by breakfast cereal, low fat milk, soy and rice milk, soup and stock, yoghurt, bananas, apples, other fruit and tea, and low intakes of pies and pastries, potato chips, white bread, takeaway foods, soft drinks, beer and wine. ‘Traditional’ was characterised by beef, starchy vegetables, green vegetables, carrots, tomatoes, savoury sauces, regular milk, cream, sugar, tea and coffee, and was low in takeaway foods. The ‘healthy’ pattern was positively associated with age, female gender, New Zealand European or other ethnicity, and a secondary school qualification, and inversely associated with smoking, food insecurity, area deprivation, BMI and waist circumference. The ‘traditional’ pattern was positively associated with age, male gender, smoking, food insecurity and inversely associated with a secondary school qualification.Conclusions: A ‘Healthy’ dietary pattern was associated with higher socio-economic status and reduced adiposity, while the ‘traditional’ pattern was associated with lower socio-economic status.
