ABSTRACT Food insecurity is a major public health issue. Millions of households worldwide have intermittent and unpredictable access to food this experience associated with greater risk for host negative outcomes. While contemporary concern, we can understand its effects better if acknowledge that there are ancient biological programs evolved respond the scarcity uncertainty, they may be particularly sensitive during development. Support conjecture comes from common findings in several recent animal studies modeled by manipulating predictability various ways. Using different experimental paradigms species, these shown insecure lead changes weight, motivation cognition. Some account weight through metabolism, while others observe increases feeding work food. It has been proposed gain an adaptive response as ‘insurance’ uncertain future, cognition reflect strategic adjustments foraging behavior.

This study aimed evaluate a potential association between food deserts severity at diagnosis. retrospective included newly diagnosed IBD patients (ages 2 21 years age; January 1, 2019, December 31, 2021). The United States Department Agriculture (USDA's) Food Access Research Atlas was used determine if resided in desert.

Abstract Purpose Increasing food insecurity (FIS) in the UK presents a major challenge to public health. Universal Credit (UC) claimants are disproportionately impacted by FIS but research on socio-demographic factors and consequent nutritional security is limited. Methods A cross-sectional online survey (September 2021 - April 2022) assessed UC (males females, n = 328) (USDA 10 question module), dietary intake (females, 43; 3–4 × 24-hour recalls) coping strategies. Binary logistic regression tested sociodemographic variables influencing odds of insecurity. Diets ofUC were compared with national diet nutrition (NDNS) participants thematic analysis conducted for drivers impacts FIS. Results was experienced 84.8% respondents (73.8% very low security). Equivalised income <£200 week -1 increased 7.3 (3.4–15.3) times households receiving >£300 .
