520 $a Research on the relationship between household composition, acculturation on diet among twenty-two, low-income, Puerto Rican nuclear, female-headed and extended family households was conducted in Hartford, Connecticut. Methods included semi-structured and ethnographic interviews, an ethnicity/acculturation measure and extended participant observation.
520 $a Children across households consumed a similar number of meals, but snack consumption was higher among extended households. Children in female-headed households consumed less fruit than children in nuclear or extended family households. Vegetable and meat consumption was highest among children in nuclear family households, while dairy consumption was highest for children within female-headed families.
520 $a The diets of nuclear families benefited from the presence of a male wage earner, but any change in his economic contribution food security severely and suddenly impacts food insecurity. Heads of female households employed household survival strategies to combat food insecurity, including long-term meal planning, food rationing, skipping meals and selective purchasing. Transfer payments and food stamps are insufficient to support most families, leading to repeating cycles of food insecurity. Members of extended families, particularly children, benefited from the diets of older members that include more fresh, staple foods, less processed foods, and less restaurant food. For all households, Puerto Rican food consumption continued but declined, and American foods were added. Increased meat and vegetable consumption were positively correlated with high ethnicity/low acculturation measures.
520 $a Breakfast has become larger and more varied, and meat, processed foods and restaurant food consumption has increased for breakfast and lunch. The consumption of traditional foods for breakfast and lunch have declined, while American foods have increased. Dinner patterns changed the least, but changes included the addition of processed meats, green and orange vegetables, and American mixed dishes.
520 $a Dietary recommendations include the replacement of processed foods with fresh and homemade choices, increased fruit and vegetable intake, reduced consumption of salty and high fat foods, and a reduction in the consumption of sugary drinks. Educational programs on frugal shopping and healthy and cost-conscious cooking techniques are needed to improve dietary patterns. Social programs that facilitate the creation of social support networks among low-income women would benefit them and their families psychologically, economically, and nutritionally.
