Abstract. Migration is a global phenomenon in modern world. The objective of this
study was to evaluate the effects of dietary acculturation to Malaysians who migrate to
the region of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia compared to their traditional dietary patterns in
Malaysia. About 122 healthy Malaysians immigrating respondents were conveniently
recruited for this study and their dietary patterns before and after migration were
evaluated using specific self-administered questionnaire. All the data were then
analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Windows
program version 17.0. The results showed that the frequency of respondents who
irregularly take their meals is increased from 9.8% (in Malaysia) to 41.8% (in Saudi
Arabia). Before migration, about 95.1% to 98.4% of the respondents took their
breakfast, lunch and dinner every day but after migration, only 52.5% to 86.9% of them
took breakfast, lunch and dinner every day. All demographic factors which are; gender,
marital status, age range, level of education, occupation in Saudi Arabia, length of stay
in Saudi Arabia and factor of stay with whom in Saudi Arabia showed significant
(P<0.05) effects on regularity of meals intake in Saudi Arabia. The study showed that
