Intergenerational Analysis of Dietary Practices and Health Perceptions of Hispanic Women and their Adult Daughters

Lillian D. Garcia-Maas, RN, MS, CEN

San Jacinto College Central, lgarci{at}central.sjed.tx.us

This descriptive, correlational, two-group study investigated differences between dietary practices, acculturation, and health perceptions in a convenience sample of Hispanic mothers and their adult daughters ( N = 76, 47 mother-daughter dyads). Analysis (paired t tests) of the Block Screening Questionnaire, General Acculturation Index, and Self-Rated Health Subindex of the Multilevel Assessment Instrument showed significant differences: Daughters ate more fat (p = .04) and were more acculturated than their mothers (p = .0001). The Pearson correlation yielded a significant relationship for the 76 subjects between fat intake (dietary practice) and health perception: The more fat (meat/snacks) intake, the more negatively women perceived their health status (p = .0001).
