The objective is to present the effect of an intervention study onPakistani women’s intentions to change dietary behaviour and changes made indietary intake.Design: The intervention group received culturally adapted lifestyle education,including diet and physical activity. The questionnaire, applied before and afterthe 7-month intervention, included FFQ and questions on intentions to change.Setting: Oslo, Norway.Subjects: A total of 198 Pakistani women, aged 25–63 years, randomised intocontrol and intervention groups.Results: There was a shift in distribution of intentions to change the intake ofselected foods in the intervention group after the intervention, resulting in sig-nificant differences between the groups. The daily intake of vegetables, fruits andfruit juice had increased (P50?043), and the intake of red meats (P50?001), fullfat milk/yoghurt (P50?027) and sugar-rich drinks (P#0?007) was reduced in theintervention group. The differences between intervention and control after theintervention were significant for sugar-rich drinks (P#0?022). More women inthe intervention group used olive and rapeseed oil and fewer used ‘vegetable’ oilafter than before intervention (P,0?011). Differences between intervention andcontrol were significant (P50?001) for rapeseed oil. Comparing those whoattended at least 60% of the group sessions with the control group resulted inminor changes in these estimates.Conclusions: Culturally adapted education has the potential to change Norwegian–Pakistaniwomen‘sintentionstomaketheirdiethealthier,andalsotoinducesomebeneficial, however modest, self-reported changes in diet.KeywordsImmigrantIntentionDietary changesInterventionSouth Asians have a higher risk of developing obesityand type 2 diabetes (T2DM) than other populations |
