“…Evidence from high‐income countries suggests that food insecurity is negatively associated with child development beyond the effects of poverty. In reviews, food insecurity was associated with suboptimal behavioural and intellectual outcomes independent of poverty status in the United States (Perez‐Escamilla & de Toledo Vianna, ) and with poor language comprehension, delays in socioemotional, cognitive, and motor development in Canada (Ke & Ford‐Jones, ). Cross‐sectional research in the United States shows food insecurity is associated with mental disorders among children age 4 to 11 years controlling for socio‐economic status (Burke, Cayir, Hartline‐Grafton, & Meade, ) and poor behavioural and academic functioning among children under age 12 years (Murphy et al, ).…”

This study examines the association between 3 dimensions of food insecurity (timing, intensity, and duration) and 3 domains of child development (gross motor, communication, and personal social). Longitudinal data from 303 households (n = 309 children) visited 9 times over 2 years were collected. Children in households experiencing severe food insecurity 3 months prior (timing) had significantly lower gross motor (β -0.14; 95% CI [0.27, -0.0033]; p = .045), communication (β -0.16; 95% CI [-0.30, -0.023]; p = .023), and personal social (β -0.20; 95% CI [-0.33, -0.073]; p = .002) Z-scores, using lagged longitudinal linear models controlling for current food insecurity; these results were attenuated in full models, which included maternal education, household asset index, and child anthropometry. Children in households that experienced greater aggregate food insecurity over the past 2 years (intensity) had significantly lower gross motor (β -0.047; 95% CI [-0.077, -0.018]; p = .002), communication (β -0.042; 95% CI [-0.076, -0.0073]; p = .018), and personal social (β -0.042; 95% CI [-0.074, -0.010]; p = .010) Z-scores; these results were also attenuated in full models. Children with more time exposed to food insecurity (duration) had significantly lower gross motor (β -0.050; 95% CI [-0.087, -0.012]; p = .010), communication (β -0.042; 95% CI [-0.086, 0.0013]; p = .057), and personal social (β -0.037; 95% CI [-0.077, 0.0039]; p = .076) Z-scores; these results were no longer significant in full models. Our findings suggest that acute and chronic food insecurity and child development are related, but that many associations are attenuated with the inclusion of relevant covariates.

“…Data Badan Pusat Statistik pada tahun 2017 menunjukkan prevalensi penduduk miskin di Provinsi Maluku sebanyak 18,45% dan di Kabupaten Buru Selatan sebanyak 16,83% (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2018). Selain program pengentasan kemiskinan jangka panjang yang perlu menjadi perhatian, dalam jangka pendek program bantuan sosial dan jaring pengaman sosial masih perlu diprioritaskan (Dewan Ketahanan Pangan -Kementerian Pertanian & World Food Programme (WFP), 2015; Ke & Ford-Jones, 2015). Di Indonesia, salah satu bantuan sosial adalah penyediaan beras Raskin, yang merupakan beras bersubsidi.…”

ABSTRAKKetahanan pangan merupakan salah satu isu global terutama di negara berkembang, termasuk Indonesia. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis status ketahanan pangan serta faktor-faktor yang berhubungan, pada masyarakat di wilayah pesisir Kabupaten Buru Selatan, Provinsi Maluku. Studi ini menggunakan data yang berasal dari survei kesehatan masyarakat di wilayah pesisir Buru Selatan, Maluku. Survei dilakukan oleh Fakultas Kedokteran, Universitas Pattimura pada bulan November 2017, melalui wawancara dengan 899 responden usia 20−60 tahun. Status ketahanan pangan dinilai dengan menggunakan kuesioner US Household Food Security/ Hunger Survey Module (USFSSM). Berbagai faktor mulai dari tingkat lingkungan, rumah tangga, dan individu disertakan dalam analisis ini. Metode regresi logistik multivariat digunakan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan status ketahanan pangan masyarakat. Hasil penelitian didapatkan, dari 899 responden yang diwawancarai, hanya 30% yang tahan pangan dan 70% mengalami rawan pangan. Sebanyak 33,7% responden mengalami rawan pangan dengan kondisi lapar. Responden di Kecamatan Waesama lebih tahan pangan dibandingkan Kecamatan Kepala Madan (aOR=2,16, 95%CI: 1,33-3,52, p=0,002). Responden dari rumah tangga "sangat kaya" lebih dari tiga kali lebih tahan pangan dari rumah tangga "sangat miskin" (aOR=3,49, 95%CI: 2,13-5,73, p<0,001). Responden yang harus membayar kepesertaan iuran kesehatan juga lebih tahan pangan dibandingkan yang mendapatkan pembebasan pembayaran iuran dari pemerintah (aOR=1,49, 95%CI: 1,07-2,08, p=0,018). Hasil penelitian juga diperoleh bahwa responden yang tinggal di rumah dengan kepadatan anggota rumah tangga ideal (≥ 8 m 2 per orang) lebih tahan pangan dibandingkan mereka dari rumah dengan kepadatan anggota rumah tangga kurang ideal (aOR=1,55, 95%CI: 1,01-2,39, p=0,047). Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kerjasama lintas sektor sangat diperlukan dalam upaya meningkatkan ketahanan pangan masyarakat. Intervensi yang bertujuan untuk menurunkan angka kemiskinan serta penyediaan pangan bersubsidi, termasuk pangan terfortifikasi, bagi masyarakat yang membutuhkan dengan didukung program edukasi bagi masyarakat sangat penting untuk dilakukan di wilayah pesisir Kabupaten Buru Selatan.

“…Conversely, food insecurity (FI) occurs when people cannot have access to food according to the criteria defined above [1,2]. FI is associated with low diet quality and adverse health effects in both adults and children [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. In France, like in many developed countries, disadvantaged families are more likely to experience FI [12][13][14][15][16].…”

Background: Social inequalities in nutrition lead a high number of families to struggle with food insecurity, even in developed countries. We aimed to assess the impact of fruits and vegetables vouchers on food security among disadvantaged households from a Paris suburb. Methods: We used a pre-post assessment design. Families answered face-to-face questionnaires on food consumption and food security status before and after a randomly assigned intervention. Households in the intervention group received vouchers to buy exclusively fruits and vegetables over one year. Both intervention and control groups benefitted from nutritional education through workshops performed by dieticians during the study period. The Household Food Security Module (HFSM) was used to assess food security status of households at inclusion. Food Insufficiency Indicator (FSI) was used to assess food security at inclusion and follow-up. Evolution of FSI on both groups was evaluated using McNemar test. Results: Among the 91 families included between May 2015 and May 2016, 64 completed the post assessment questionnaire. At inclusion, 68.3% of families were experiencing food insecurity and 78.1% were experiencing food insufficiency. No association was found between food consumptions and food security status. After one-year follow-up, the prevalence of food insufficiency was significantly decreased in the intervention group (61.8%, with p value = 0.03), and unchanged in the control group. Conclusion: In this pilot study, food insufficiency was significantly decreased in families receiving vouchers for fruits and vegetables over a one-year period.
