BACKGROUND: Ethnic minority populations in Western societies suffer from a disproportionate burden of @entity2175 ( @entity2175 ). Insight into the role of dietary patterns in @entity2175 may inform public health nutrition efforts addressing these health disparities. OBJECTIVE: We explored the association between dietary patterns and biomarkers of @entity2175 in 5 ethnic groups living in Amsterdam, Netherlands. METHODS: A total of 3776 @entity1 and @entity1 aged 18-70 y of Dutch, South Asian Surinamese, African-Surinamese, Turkish, and Moroccan origin from the HELIUS (HEalthy LIfe in an Urban Setting) study were included. Diet was assessed by using a food-frequency questionnaire, and dietary patterns were derived separately per ethnic group. First, food group-based dietary patterns were derived by using principal components analysis and the association with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and plasma fasting @entity413 was assessed by using multivariable linear regression. Second, biomarker-driven dietary patterns based on HbA1c and fasting @entity413 concentrations were derived by applying reduced rank regression. RESULTS: Two comparable food group-based dietary patterns were identified in each ethnic group: a "meat and snack" pattern and a "vegetable" pattern. The meat-and-snack pattern derived within the Dutch origin population was significantly associated with HbA1c (b = 0.09; 95% CI: 0.00, 0.19) and fasting @entity413 (b = 0.18; 95% CI: 0.09, 0.26) concentrations. A biomarker-derived pattern characterized by red and processed meat was observed among Dutch-origin @entity1 ; however, among ethnic minority groups, this pattern was characterized by other foods including ethnicity-specific foods (e.g., roti, couscous). CONCLUSIONS: Although similar food group dietary patterns were derived within 5 ethnic groups, the association of the meat-and-snack pattern with fasting @entity413 concentrations differed by ethnicity. Taken together with the finding of ethnic differences in biomarker-driven dietary patterns, our results imply that addressing @entity2175 risk in multiethnic populations requires ethnicity-specific approaches.
