British South Asians face increased risks of obesity, type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease; British African-Caribbean adults face increased risks of obesity, type 2 diabetes and stroke in adult life. The reasons for these patterns are not fully understood. However, there is growing evidence that these ethnic differences in disease risk emerge early in life, offering opportunities for early prevention (particularly in these high risk ethnic groups) before the diseases are established. Diet and physical activity are both risk factors for obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease and could be important in explaining ?and preventing - these ethnic differences in disease risk. However, we know little about the extent of ethnic differences in diet and physical activity among British South Asians and African-Caribbeans, especially in children. We therefore propose to assess diet and physical activity patterns among 2000 British primary school children of South Asian, African-Caribbean and European origin during an ongoing health survey. The information which we will collect will allow us to examine the following questions:--How much do diet and exercise patterns vary between 9-10 year-old children children of different ethnic groups?-How important are these differences in diet and exercise patterns in explaining emerging differences in risks of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease between children from different ethnic groups?-What are the factors (at individual, family, school and community levels) which affect the dietary and physical activity patterns of these children? Do these factors differ between ethnic groups?The information collected will be used to inform strategies for early prevention of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, particularly in these high-risk ethnic groups.

英属南亚人面临肥胖，2型糖尿病和冠状动脉疾病的风险。英国非洲加勒比海成年人面临肥胖，2型糖尿病和中风的风险增加。这些模式的原因尚未完全理解。但是，越来越多的证据表明，在建立疾病之前，这些种族差异在生命的早期就出现了，为早期预防的机会（尤其是在这些高风险种族中）提供了机会。饮食和体育锻炼都是肥胖，2型糖尿病和心血管疾病的危险因素，并且在解释和预防疾病风险上可能很重要。但是，我们对英属南亚和非洲加勒比人（尤其是儿童的饮食和体育锻炼）种族差异的程度一无所知。因此，我们建议在一项正在进行的健康调查中评估2000年南亚，非洲加勒比海和欧洲血统的2000年英国小学儿童的饮食和体育锻炼模式。我们将收集的信息将使我们能够研究以下问题： - 在9-10岁的不同族裔群体的儿童之间有多少饮食和运动模式在饮食和运动模式中的这些差异在解释肥胖，糖尿病和心血管疾病的各种何种含量的饮食差异时（在不同种族中的儿童之间以及在不同种族中的儿童）（在各个阶段以及在各种含量上）的饮食和运动模式的差异（在各个阶段以及在各个阶段）的差异？ 孩子们？这些因素在种族之间是否有所不同？收集到的信息将用于为早期预防肥胖症，2型糖尿病和心血管疾病的策略提供信息，尤其是在这些高风险种族中。
