Abstract
The objective of this research was to obtain information about the current dietary pattern of Chinese Americans in Pennsylvania and its relationship with demographic characteristics and acculturation factors. A self-administered questionnaire was used with a convenience sample of 399 Chinese Americans. This study found that Chinese Americans' current dietary pattern was associated with acculturation indicators and certain demographic characteristics such as age, gender, presence of children, and place of origin. Chinese Americans tend to have low consumption of dairy products. Nutrition educators may use the results of this study when designing appropriate nutrition education programs for Chinese Americans.
