Abstract

Objectives: This study examined the consumption of Han-sik and its association with the years of residencein Korea and the socioeconomic status among Filipino immigrant women of the Filipino Women's Diet andHealth Study (FiLWHEL). Methods: A total of 474 Filipino women married to Korean men were included in the analysis. Their dietaryintake was assessed using a single-day 24-hour recall. The participants provided information on thedemographics, socioeconomic, and health-related factors through face-to-face interviews. The generalized linearmodel and logistic regression model were used to examine the association between the socioeconomic statusand consumption of Han-sik. Results: The mean age of the participants was 34.3 years old, and the average duration of residence in Koreawas 8.2 years. Among 474 Filipino women, a total of 467 consumed Han-sik, with an average of 6.8 fooditems per day. The Han-sik foods that the participants consumed most frequently were rice, cabbage kimchi,mixed-grain rice, and fried eggs. The average ratio of Han-sik was 58.57%. The ratio of Han-sik showed nosignificant associations with the years of residence, years of living together with their husband, educationlevels, total annual family income, or linguistic competence of Korean. However, the ratio of Han-sik use wasassociated with cohabitation with parents-in-law; the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) was 2.41 (1.18-4.92,p-trend = 0.002) comparing the fourth quartile with the first quartile of the Han-sik ratio. Conclusions: Filipino immigrant women in the FiLWHEL study consumed a larger number of Han-sik thanPhilippine foods. In addition, cohabitation with their parents-in-law was associated with the consumption ofHan-sik. Further epidemiologic studies will be needed to determine how the diet affects the health andwellbeing of immigrant women in Korea.
