“…Food security is a measure of individual and family health, as the inadequate availability of food can lead to several health problems and developmental challenges in children [ 4 ]. Children are at a significantly greater risk for malnutrition due to their special nutrition requirements for ensuring proper growth and development [ 5 ].…”

Purpose: Food insecurity, which is the inability to obtain food or inadequate food consumption in terms of quality and quantity, has physical and psychological consequences on children's health. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between children's growth disorders and food insecurity in Qazvin city, Iran. Methods: A case-control study was conducted on 177 cases and 355 controls of children aged 3 to 6 years, who were referred to health centers in Qazvin city. The case group consisted of children with growth disorders. Data were obtained with the 18-item US Department of Agriculture questionnaire, a household socioeconomic questionnaire, a and growth monitoring card. The data were analyzed with using IBM SPSS Version 22.0, by independent sample t-test, chi-square test, and logistic regression. Results: A significant relationship was found between children's growth disorders and household food insecurity with (p<0.05, odds ratio [OR]=17.0, confidence interval [CI]=5.9, 48.8) and without hunger (p<0.05, OR=2.69, CI=1.4, 4.9). There were also significant relationships between children's growth disorders and socioeconomic status (p<0.05, OR=3.4, CI=1.4, 8.5), the duration of breastfeeding (p<0.05, OR=0.94, CI=0.9, 0.98), and children's ages (p<0.05, OR=0.94, CI=0.92, 0.96). Sex and birth order, and the age of the parents was not found to be significantly related with growth disorders. Conclusion: Lower socioeconomic status and household food insecurity were the important predictors of children's growth disorders. Policymakers should focus more on promoting steady employment and income among family members. Nutritional education for mothers is also recommended, in order to better meet the nutritional needs of the children.

“…To our knowledge, no studies have examined outcomes for children and adults experiencing only mild food insecurity, which the USDA now calls marginal food security. However, although any type of food insecurity is associated with worse outcomes for children and adults, compared to moderate food insecurity, severe food insecurity is associated with even worse outcomes (Davison, Marshall‐Fabien, & Tecson, ; Johnson & Markowitz, , ).…”

“…Indeed, food insecurity in early childhood is associated with worse social–emotional outcomes at kindergarten entry (Johnson & Markowitz, ). Food insecurity during early childhood has also been linked to worse family functioning, including worse maternal mental health and more high‐conflict interactions among family members (Johnson & Markowitz, ). These family well‐being outcomes when experienced during early childhood are themselves linked to worse developmental outcomes later in childhood and into adolescence and adulthood (Bradley & Corwyn, ; Dodge, Pettit, & Bates, ).…”

Objective: To examine how reports of food insecurity vary daily among low-income parents of young children.Background: The material and emotional components of food insecurity have negative consequences for children and can have negative implications for family life. Though the overall influence of food insecurity on parents and children is well-established, little is understood about possible instability in food insecurity. This paper examines to what degree instability related to the SNAP benefit cycle influences variability in families' daily food insecurity. Method: SNAP-recipient parents of a birth cohort in Durham, NC were recruited when children were 5-6 years old. One hundred and five participants completed a daily survey via SMS text message for 4 weeks (N = 2,661 person-days for analysis). Regression models with family fixed effects examined the relation between time since SNAP transfer and parents' daily food insecurity. Results: Parents' food insecurity was higher at the end of the SNAP month than at the beginning, with food insecurity accelerating and becoming

“…The literature on well-being is extensive, dating back over 40 years and has largely been addressed through various aspects of happiness, quality of life, and life satisfaction ( Campbell, Converse, & Rodgers, 1976 ). While research on well-being can be explored from various perspectives, such as family-well-being ( Dunifon et al, 2014 , Johnson and Markowitz, 2018 , Thiyagarajan et al, 2019 ); elderly well-being ( Hamid et al, 2018 , Othman and Fadzil, 2015 , Ruengtam, 2017 ) and child well-being ( Kitsaras et al, 2018 , Mazumder and Davis, 2013 ), majority of these studies are underpinned by the notion of Subjective Well-being (SWB).…”

Business leaders and policymakers within service economies are placing greater emphasis on well-being, given the role of workers in such settings. Whilst people’s well-being can lead to economic growth, it can also have the opposite effect if overlooked. Therefore, enhancing subjective well-being (SWB) is pertinent for all organisations for the sustainable development of an economy. While health conditions were previously deemed the most reliable predictors, the availability of data on people’s personal lifestyles now offers a new dimension into well-being for organisations. Using open data available from the national Annual Population Survey in the UK, which measures SWB, this research uncovered that among several independent variables to predict varying levels of people's perceived well-being, long-term health conditions, one's marital status, and age played a key role in SWB. The proposed model provides the key indicators of measuring SWB for organisations using big data.
