“…Ding et al (47) found a link between HFI and habitual short sleep duration, long sleep latency, and frequent sleep complaints. They hypothesized that mental health may be a mechanism underlying the relation between HFI and sleep; however, their study did not explicitly test this hypothesis (47). Our results support mental health as a mechanism linking HFI to sleep in Latinos with T2DM.…”

“…Box 269, Debre Markos, Ethiopia Full list of author information is available at the end of the article insecure countries in East Africa [6,7]. More than half of the African's food insecure population lives in Ethiopia and six other countries [6,7]. In the country, food insecurity remains as a major development challenge due to the synergetic effects of land degradation, rapid population growth and climate change [8].…”

Spatial variations of household food insecurity in East Gojjam Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia: implications for agroecosystem-based interventions

Background: In Ethiopia, food insecurity remains a major public health challenge. Agroecosystem has a potential to determine food insecurity. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the spatial pattern of household food insecurity across different agroecosystems in East Gojjam Zone. An agroecosystem-linked cross-sectional survey was done among 3108 households after selecting using multistage cluster sampling. The study area is divided into hilly and mountainous highlands, midland plains with black soil, midland plains with brown soil, midland plains with red soil and lowlands of Abay valley. Data were collected on sociodemographic variables, household food access and geographical location after five days training and pretesting of the tool to maintain data quality. Data were entered using Epi Info version 3.5 and exported to SaTScan and SPSS 20 for further analysis. To identify the most likely clusters using SaTScan software, the log likelihood ratio (LLR) and P less than 0.05 were considered as the level of significance. Results:The overall prevalence of household food insecurity was found to be 65.3% (95% CI 63.5, 67.00). The lowlands of the Abay valley (70.6%, 95% CI 66.9, 74.2) and hilly and mountainous highlands (69.8%, 95% CI 65.9, 73.3) showed a significantly higher prevalence compared to midland plains with black soil (61.7%, 95% CI 58.1, 65.6), midland plains with red soil (63.5%, 95% CI 59.9, 65.0) and midland plains with brown soil (61.5%, 95% CI 57.4, 65.3). SaTScan spatial analysis identified hilly and mountainous highlands (LLR: 11.64; P 0.0088) and lowlands of the Abay valley (LLR: 8.23; P 0.025) as the most likely primary and secondary clusters, respectively. Conclusions:The lowlands of Abay valley and hilly and mountainous highlands were the most vulnerable areas of food insecurity. Concerned bodies that are working to mitigate food insecurity shall consider microlevel food insecurity variations during planning interventions. Further research is needed to determine the temporal variation of household food insecurity. Also, it is very important to validate the spatial analysis results applicability to design geographically targeted interventions.

“…Thus, food insecurity has been an important issue in Western industrialised countries, as well as in developing countries suffering from food shortages and hunger. Numerous studies (1)(2)(3)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17) of food insecurity have been performed in Western countries. Those studies have found that food insecurity is associated with poor dietary quality and less-healthy food consumption behaviours (6,9,11,12,14) .…”

Objective: To examine the association of food insufficiency with dietary intake and eating and health behaviours. Design: A cross-sectional study. Setting: Data were obtained from a secondary source, the Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2010)(2011)(2012). Subjects: The sample size consisted of 15 603 adults over 19 years of age (8898 households). Results: Significant differences in socio-economic factors were observed according to food insufficiency level (P < 0·05), but BMI was similar among groups. Regarding macronutrients, lower protein intake and higher carbohydrate intake were found in the severely food-insufficient group, but we found no association with fat intake. Regarding micronutrients, Ca, Fe, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin niacin and vitamin C intakes were negatively associated with food insufficiency level (P trend < 0·05). Consumption of different food groups, such as meat, fish, eggs and beans, vegetables and fruits, was significantly lower as food insufficiency level decreased after controlling for all possible variables; food group consumption also differed by sex. Overall eating and health behaviours were poorer in the mildly and severely food-insufficient groups, who received more food assistance but less nutritional education. Conclusions: Our results showed that dietary intake as well as eating and health behaviours are adversely associated with food insufficiency. These findings suggest that specific strategies to help food-insufficient individuals should be developed in order to improve their dietary quality and health status.
