In order to investigate the impact of food insecurity on college students in a highly health disparate region we (1) assessed prevalence among young adults at large, rural university Appalachia, and (2) investigated relationship between behavioral characteristics including academic performance, coping strategies, money expenditure. A cross-sectional design was used capture representative sample attending central Appalachian Fall 2016. The United States Department Agriculture (USDA) Adult Food Security Survey measure insecurity. Independent variables include expenditure (MES), strategies (CSS), performance (APS), demographic, health, economic culinary variables. Participant responses (n = 692) showed one third (36.6%) respondents were food-insecure. Students with higher scores for MES CSS had significantly odds being food-insecure (odds ratio (OR) 2.07; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.81 2.38 OR 1.20; CI 1.16 1.23, respectively). high APS (OR 0.79; 0.73 0.86) inversely related Results logistic regression MES, CSS, school year remained significant predictor students.

The purpose current review provide broad overview literature, including definitions, measurement, areas study, impacts on health. Importantly, this suggests there are two major causes nations: economic inequality neoliberalism. diminished government responsibility nations corresponds an increase feeding run by non-profit charitable organizations. This concludes suggesting that, while massive amount research currently exists, more still needed address gaps when it comes significant events, coping strategies disadvantaged populations.

Obesity, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 29(1), P. 143 - 149

Published: Nov. 1, 2020

Objective Food insecurity (a lack of stable access to nutritious food) is reliably associated with poor diet, malnutrition, and obesity; however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. In this study, hypothesis that these relations explained by higher levels distress, which due experience food insecurity, unhealthy coping behaviors (eating high‐calorie foods, drinking alcohol) was tested. Methods Adults from United Kingdom ( N = 604), who were recruited online at banks, completed questionnaire measures household physical stress, psychological eating cope, diet quality, self‐reported height weight calculate BMI. Results Structural equation modeling used test hypothesized relationships, including a multilevel structural model controlling for effect income. As predicted, indirectly BMI via greater distress cope. directly poorer but relationship not cope Conclusions Our data provide novel insight into being food‐insecure how maladaptive might play some role in association between obesity.

Identification and characterisation of dietary patterns are needed to define public health policies promote better food behaviours. The aim this study was identify the major in French adult population determine their main demographic, socio-economic, nutritional environmental characteristics. Dietary were defined from consumption data collected second national cross-sectional survey (2006-2007). Non-negative-matrix factorisation method, followed by a cluster analysis, implemented derive patterns. Logistic regressions then used demographic socio-economic Finally, profiles contaminant exposure levels compared using ANOVA. Seven patterns, with specific behaviours, identified: 'Small eater', 'Health conscious', 'Mediterranean', 'Sweet processed', 'Traditional', 'Snacker' 'Basic consumer'. For instance, Health-conscious pattern characterised high low-fat light products. Individuals belonging likely be older have profile than overall population, but more exposed many contaminants. Conversely, individuals Snacker younger, consumed highly processed foods, had nutrient-poor limited number identified distinct behaviours features. Paradoxically, for potential risks cannot ruled out. Therefore, demonstrated need conduct risk-benefit analysis efficient regarding diet.
