  abstract = {{N}on-communicable diseases disproportionately affect {A}frican migrants from sub-{S}aharan {A}frica living in high-income countries ({HIC}s). {E}vidence suggests this is largely driven by forces that include migration, globalisation of unhealthy lifestyles (poor diet, physical inactivity and smoking), unhealthy food environments, socio-economic status and population ageing. {C}hanges in lifestyle behaviours that accompany migration are exemplified primarily by shifts in dietary behaviours from more traditional diets to a diet that incorporates that of the host culture, which promotes the development of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and {CVD}. {T}he current paper presents a critical analysis of dietary change and how this is influenced by the food environment and the socio-economic context following migration. {W}e used a food systems framework to structure the discussion of the interaction of factors across the food system that shape food environments and subsequent dietary changes among {A}frican migrant populations living in {HIC}s.},
