“…This finding is lower than the finding of the study conducted in Senegal (84.6%) [30], Uganda (78.5%) [31], Nigeria (71.7%) [32] and one of global systematic review (71%) of food insecurity role on treatment Adherence [33]. As indicated above, the difference may be due to food insecurity measurement difference, difference in sample size, difference in the socio-demographic and economic status of the included population in the analysis.…”

Background People living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus may lack access to sufficient quantities of nutritious foods and are vulnerable to food insecurity. Studies suggest there is gender-based inequality in the experience of food insecurity. The few studies conducted on the prevalence of food insecurity among adults living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus in Ethiopia presented inconclusive findings. Therefore, the objective of the current systematic review and meta-analysis was to estimate the pooled prevalence of food insecurity and its gender disparity among adult patients living with HIV and receiving antiretroviral therapy in Ethiopia.Method We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The research databases PubMed, Google Scholar, CINAHL, PopLine, MedNar, Embase, Cochrane library, the JBI Library and the WEB OF SCIENCE were searched using keywords. We included studies reporting prevalence of food insecurity among adults aged greater than 18 years who were living with HIV and receiving antiretroviral therapy. The meta-analysis was conducted using STATA 14 software. A random effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence at 95% CI. Funnel plots and Egger’s and Begg’s tests were used to check for publication bias.Results A total of 52 studies representing 4031 adults were identified; eleven studies were included in the meta-analysis. The overall pooled estimated prevalence of food insecurity was 63.44% (95% CI: 46.33-80.54%). A higher pooled prevalence of food insecurity was observed among females (68.85%, 95% CI (57.88%, 79.81%)) compared to males (31.15%, 95% CI (20.19%, 42.12%)).Conclusion The review demonstrates a high prevalence of food insecurity among people living with HIV in Ethiopia, with evidence of greater vulnerability among women. Interventions should be culture and context specific to address regional and gender disparities in the prevalence of food insecurity.

“…This finding is similar to the findings of other studies reported from different countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. For example, food insecurity was reported as 19.4% in Tanzania (Kabalimu et al, 2018), 67% in Namibia (Hong et al, 2014), 71.7% in Nigeria (Sholeye et al, 2017), and 35.2% in Central Ethiopia (Gebremichael et al, 2018). Hence, such higher prevalence of food insecurity among PLHIV continues affecting the health and development of the region (Laar et al, 2015; United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS, 2014), affects treatment outcome (Yacobson et al, 2016; Young et al, 2014), and quality of life (Palermo et al, 2013; Ivers and Cullen, 2011; Tsai et al, 2016).…”

Background: Food insecurity and malnutrition has been reported to have a strong connection with human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV); this is more pervasive in Sub-Saharan Africa including Ethiopia. In this study, we examined the predictors of food insecurity and factors associated with malnutrition among people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Benishangul Gumuz Regional State, Ethiopia. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study at outpatient antiretroviral therapy (ART) clinics. Data were collected using participant interview, anthropometry, and participants’ chart review. Interviews were carried out with 390 PLHIVs who were on antiretroviral treatment follow-up. Four robust multivariate linear regression models were used to identify predictors of food insecurity and factors associated with malnutrition. Results: The prevalence of food insecurity and malnutrition among PLHIV were found to be 76% and 60%, respectively. The predictors of food insecurity were: urban residence; household dependency; average monthly income below 53.19 USD; poor asset possession; CD4 count below 350 cell/ μL; and recurrent episodes of opportunistic infections (OIs). Correspondingly, malnutrition among PLHIV was found strongly associated with: female gender; urban residence; income below 53.19 USD; poor asset possession; duration of less than one year on ART; and recurrent episodes of OIs. Conclusion: The study findings suggest that the higher prevalence of food insecurity and malnutrition among PLHIV underscore: the need for economic and livelihood intervention; addressing contextual factors including the gender dimensions; adoption of nutrition-specific and sensitive interventions; and integration of food and nutrition security with HIV treatment and care programmes.

“…In Uruguay and Brazil, household income strongly correlated with food insecurity [30,31]. Among people living with HIV in Nigeria, food insecurity was associated with educational attainment, occupation, and living conditions such as housing and property ownership status [32]. Social structures also play a major role in food insecurity.…”

Background: Food insecurity is widely prevalent in certain sections of society in low and middle-income countries. The United Nations has challenged all member countries to eliminate hunger for all people by 2030. This study examines the prevalence and correlates of household food insecurity among women, especially Dalit women of reproductive age in Nepal. Methods: Data came from 2016 Nepal Demographic Health Survey, a cross-sectional, nationally representative survey that included 12,862 women between 15 and 49 years of age of which 12% were Dalit. Descriptive analysis was used to assess the prevalence of household food insecurity while logistic regression examined the relationship between women's ethnicity and the risk of food insecurity after accounting for demographic, economic, cultural, and geo-ecological characteristics. Results: About 56% of all women and 76% of Dalit women had experienced food insecurity. Ethnicity is strongly related to food insecurity. Dalit women were most likely to be food insecure, even after accounting for factors such as education and wealth. They were 82, 85, 89 and 92% more vulnerable to food insecurity than Muslims, Brahmin/ Chhetri, Terai Indigenous, and Hill Indigenous populations, respectively. Education was a protective factor-women with secondary education (6th to 10th grade) were 39% less likely to be food insecure compared to their counterparts without education. With a more than 10th grade education, women were 2.27 times more likely to be food secure compared to their counterparts without education. Marriage was also protective. Economically, household wealth is inversely correlated with food insecurity. Finally, residence in the Mid-Western, Far-Western and Central Development regions was correlated with food insecurity. Conclusion: To reduce food insecurity in Nepal, interventions should focus on improving women's education and wealth, especially among Dalit and those residing in the Far-and Mid-Western regions.
