“…Em outro estudo com mulheres latinas, demonstrou-se que houve associação fraca e negativa entre a obesidade e a IA (r=-0,20; p<0,001) 31 . Resultados semelhantes foram encontrados no estudo de Jilcott et al 33 . Estudo de Shariff e Khor 34 demonstrou que quando houve a separação da amostra em grupos conforme o estado nutricional de mulheres (eutrofia, sobrepeso e obesidade) obteve-se diferença significativa (p<0,01) quando comparado com a existência de IA, de modo que quanto mais obesa, maior a IA em que ela e sua família viviam.…”

Food insecurity and obesity in adults:What is the relationship? ABSTRACTObesity is a multifactorial disease that has, among other relevant issues, inadequate food. Food insecurity is proposed as the mismatch of supply in quality, quantity and diversity. Therefore, the aim of this study was that obesity and food insecurity are closely linked. Method: This study is a literature review. The works exhibited here have shown that women are more prone to develop obesity, as well as food insecurity. Some felt the question income as a variable of interest, and obtained correlation with obesity and food insecurity. Therefore, the conclusion was that there is an association between food insecurity and obesity, so that the increased supply of unhealthy foods and / or access to these foods can enlarge the increase in body weight, and lead to obesity frame.

“…9 A North Carolina study (n ¼ 202) revealed that body mass index was greater in households receiving < $150 in SNAP food assistance per member, compared with those who received $ $150. 10 Food insecurity and obesity may coexist because the least expensive foods are often low in nutrients and energy dense. [11][12][13] However, SNAP alone without nutrition education may not be sufficient to help participants adhere to a healthy diet.…”

Objective Examine how income-related challenges around food and health are associated with variation in self-reported maternal body weight among low-income mothers. Design Cross-sectional, correlational design. Convenience sample recruited from 7 daycare centers and a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program outreach project. Maternal self-report data collected between October 2009 and May 2011. Setting Two Northeastern cities. Participants Sample of 166 mothers; 67% overweight or obese, 55% Hispanic, 42% reporting household food insecurity (HFI). Main Outcome Measures Maternal self-reported height and weight to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI). Independent variables: food program participation, supermarket use, 8-item food shopping practices scale, HFI, maternal depressive symptoms, self-rated health (SRH). Analysis Hierarchical multiple regression analysis tested relationships between maternal BMI with the independent variables of interest, adjusting for demographic confounds. Results Shopping practices to stretch food dollars (P = .04), using community food assistance programs (P < .05), and HFI (P < .04) correlated with heavier maternal BMIs; higher SRH corresponded to lower BMIs (P =.004). Conclusions and Implications Some strategies low-income mothers use to manage food resources are associated with heavier BMIs. Nutrition educators, public health practitioners, and researchers need to collaboratively address the associations between these strategies, food insecurity, poor health, and unhealthy weight.
