  abstract = {{P}urpose {D}espite the urgency regarding increasing rates of obesity and chronic diseases in the {C}aribbean, few studies described the nutrition transition. {W}e aimed to provide such information by identifying dietary patterns in the {F}rench {W}est {I}ndies and their characteristics. {M}ethods {T}his cross-sectional analysis included 1144 {G}uadeloupeans and {M}artinicans from a multistage sampling survey conducted on a representative sample. {D}ietary patterns were identified using principal component analysis followed by a clustering procedure, and described using multivariable regression models. {R}esults {F}our patterns were identified: (i) a "prudent" pattern characterized by high intakes of fruits, vegetables, legumes, seafood and yogurts, low intakes of fatty and sweet products, and a high {D}iet {Q}uality {I}ndex-{I}nternational ({DQI}-{I}); (ii) a "traditional" pattern characterized by high intakes of fruits, vegetables, tubers and fish, low intakes of red and processed meat, snacks, fast foods, and sweetened beverages, with a high {DQI}-{I}, mostly shaped by women and older persons; (iii) a "convenient" pattern characterized by high intakes of sweetened beverages, snacks, and fast foods, with the lowest {DQI}-{I}, principally shaped by young participants; (iv) a "transitioning" pattern characterized by high consumptions of bread, processed meat, sauces, alcoholic and sweetened beverages, but also high intakes of tubers, legumes, and fish, mainly shaped by men, middle aged, of whom 35% had metabolic syndrome. {C}onclusion {T}he co-existing dietary patterns in the {F}rench {W}est {I}ndies, marked by a generational contrast, seem to reflect different steps in dietary change as described in the literature, suggesting an ongoing nutrition transition.},
