“…This result converges with a small body of work [13, 14], and advances the literature by suggesting that there may be mechanisms, other than socio-demographic factors, that make food insecure populations more vulnerable to tobacco use. Specifically, there may be shared genetic [28–30], psychosocial [31] and/or environmental factors [32–34] that may serve to perpetuate current tobacco use and poor dietary intake in low-income adults; this association may be particularly potent in food insecure adults.…”

“…Importantly, these two risk factors for cardiovascular diseases are believed to intersect, such that current smoking is associated with food insecurity [12], even after adjustment for household income [13, 14]. Food insecure populations may represent a particularly vulnerable population for cardiovascular diseases given their propensity for tobacco use and poor dietary intake.…”

Food assistance recipients are at higher risk for poor cardiovascular health given their propensity to poor dietary intake and tobacco use. This study sought to evaluate the cardiovascular health status, and determine the impact of a low-intensity smoking cessation education intervention that connected mobile food pantry participants to state quit-smoking resources. A pre-post design with a 6-week follow-up was used to evaluate the impact of a 10–12 min smoking cessation education session implemented in five food pantries in Delaware. Baseline cardiovascular health, smoking behaviors and food security status were assessed. Smoking cessation knowledge, intention to quit and use of the state quit line were also assessed at follow-up. Of the 144 participants 72.3% reported having hypertension, 34.3% had diabetes, 13.9% had had a stroke. 50.0% were current smokers. The low-intensity intervention significantly increased smoking cessation knowledge but not intention to quit at follow-up. Seven percent of current smokers reported calling the quit line. Current tobacco use was five times more likely in food insecure versus food secure adults (OR 4.98; p=0.006), even after adjustment for demographic factors. Systems based approaches to address tobacco use and cardiovascular health in low-income populations are needed. The extent to which smoking cessation could reduce food insecurity and risk for cardiovascular disease in this population warrants investigation.

“…However, antecedents do not occur in a vacuum and may result from diverse contributing factors. For example, food insecurity has been associated with high food costs (Gregory & Coleman‐Jensen, ; Morrissey, Jacknowitz, & Vinopal, ; Ramadurai et al., ; Zhang et al., ), lack of access to food stores (Freedman, Blake, & Liese, ; Jernigan, Salvatore, Styne, & Winkleby, ; Ramadurai et al., ), a lacking local food environment (i.e., food stores sell unaffordable or undesirable products) (Chang et al., ; Demartini et al., ), lack of or low income (Anderson, ; Chang et al., ; Demartini et al., ; Langellier et al., ), being unable to find culturally appropriate food (Jernigan et al., ), low acculturation (Iglesias‐Rios, Bromberg, Moser, & Augustson, in press), being a first‐generation American or immigrant (Langellier et al., ), lack of transportation (Demartini et al., ; Jernigan et al., ), stigma associated with using resources such as federal “food stamps”—the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (Food Research and Action Center, ; Gundersen, ) or SNAP for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)—(Huynh, ), lack of awareness about resources such as SNAP (Food Research and Action Center, ), inadequate policy to support food insecure individuals (Jernigan et al., ), and having a disability (Coleman‐Jensen & Nord, ).…”

Aim To report an analysis of the concept of food insecurity, in order to 1) propose a theoretical model of food insecurity useful to nursing and 2) discuss its implications for nursing practice, nursing research, and health promotion. Background Forty eight million Americans are food insecure. As food insecurity is associated with multiple negative health effects, nursing intervention is warranted. Design Concept Analysis Data sources A literature search was conducted in May 2014 in Scopus and MEDLINE using the exploded term “food insecur*.” No year limit was placed. Government websites and popular media were searched to ensure a full understanding of the concept. Review Methods Iterative analysis, using the Walker and Avant method Results Food insecurity is defined by uncertain ability or inability to procure food, inability to procure enough food, being unable to live a healthy life, and feeling unsatisfied. A proposed theoretical model of food insecurity, adapted from the Socio-Ecological Model, identifies three layers of food insecurity (individual, community, society), with potential for nursing impact at each level. Conclusion Nurses must work to fight food insecurity. There exists a potential for nursing impact that is currently unrealized. Nursing impact can be guided by a new conceptual model, Food Insecurity within the Nursing Paradigm.

“…food insecurity. 67,68 Although the literature remains limited, it is hypothesized that environmental factors also relate to or contribute to food insecurity. These factors, such as local food prices, availability of transportation, social capital, stress, and use of tobacco as an appetite suppressant, warrant additional research to better understand their relationship to, or impact on, food insecurity.…”

It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that systematic and sustained action is needed to achieve food and nutrition security in the United States. To achieve food security, effective interventions are needed, along with adequate funding for, and increased utilization of, food and nutrition assistance programs; inclusion of nutrition education in such programs; strategies to support individual and household economic stability; and research to measure impact on food insecurity- and health-related outcomes. Millions of individuals living in the United States experience food insecurity. Negative nutritional and non-nutritional outcomes are associated with food insecurity across the lifespan, including substandard academic achievement, inadequate intake of key nutrients, increased risk for chronic disease, and poor psychological and cognitive functioning. Registered dietitian nutritionists and nutrition and dietetics technicians, registered, play key roles in addressing food insecurity and are uniquely positioned to make valuable contributions through competent and collaborative practice, provision of comprehensive food and nutrition education and training, innovative research related to all aspects of food insecurity, and advocacy efforts at the local, state, regional, and national levels.
