Food insecurity with and without nutrition security: an exploratory analysis of the co-occurrence of food and nutrition (in)security

Résumé fourni par la source

This analysis sought to explore the paradoxical co-occurrence of food insecurity without nutrition insecurity using cross-sectional survey data from 184 adults that completed the US Department of Agriculture food security questionnaire and a one-item potential indicator of nutrition security. Compared to those with food and nutrition insecurity, those with food insecurity without nutrition insecurity enrolled in more nutrition assistance (64% v. 41%) and food pantry or community fridge (57% v. 21%) programs and did most of their shopping at grocery rather than convenience stores (97 v. 59%). Future research should elucidate the temporal sequence of food and nutrition insecurity experiences.
