“…It is noteworthy that some foods cannot be consumed due to various reasons such as unpleasant taste, difficulty of finding food; difficulty in eating; price; not having the habit or time to eat 25 , moreover, one should take into account the limitations of methodologies for measuring food consumption in line with food insecurity 8 .…”

Food insecurity and socioeconomic, food and nutrition profile of schoolchildren living in urban and rural areas of Picos, Piauí

et al. 2014

ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine the prevalence of food insecurity among schoolchildren living in urban and rural areas of Picos, Piauí associated with the socioeconomic profile of families and their food intake and nutritional status. MethodsStudy participants were families with children aged 7-10 years enrolled in municipal schools, totaling 342 families/schoolchildren. The study was conducted at school facilities through interviews with mothers -or guardians -using a questionnaire based on the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale and socioeconomic variables and food frequency questionnaire. The nutritional status of children was assessed using the following indexes: weight/age, height/age and body mass index/age. ResultsThe prevalence of food insecurity was high and similar for rural and urban areas, 84.3% and 83.3%, respectively. In general, lower income and consumption of untreated water was associated with greater frequency of food

Policy, System and Environmental Correlates of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption in a Low-Income African American Population in the Southeast

Objective: The current study seeks to identify policy, system and environmental (PSE) correlates of fruit and vegetable consumption among a sample of low-income African Americans in two counties in Alabama (Jefferson and Mobile) and one county in Mississippi (Forrest).Design: A modified Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFFS) survey, which included multi-level ecological factors, was used to evaluate nutritional habits at the pre-intervention stage of a multi-state research study. We surveyed a total of 256 participants between May and August 2015. Local community coalitions established in each of the counties were instrumental in the planning and administration of the baseline survey.Results: Univariate analyses revealed that whether participants met the daily recommendation for fruit/vegetable consumption may be correlated with whether participants had children who attended schools/day care centers with health policies in place, received food assistance, and observed media campaigns related to nutrition. Further, results of multivariate analysis indicated that meeting fruit/vegetable recommendations was correlated with personally participating or having a family member who participated in a health policy meeting in the past two years.Conclusion: These findings suggest that policy-based interventions have the potential to improve health outcomes among priority populations, such as low-income African Americans, who are at high risk of developing chronic diseases.Ethn Dis. 2017;27(Suppl 1):355-362; doi:10.18865/ed.27.S1.355.

“…Indeed, rural households in the US are particularly vulnerable to food security and food insecurity [22,23] has been associated with low quality diets in the Mississippi delta [24]. Anecdotal reports of the so-called Appalachian diet (high in carbohydrates, fat and prepared foods) are in keeping with surveys reporting comparatively low consumption of fruits and vegetables when compared to other states, as well as the high prevalence of obesity in West Virginia [3].…”

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has reached epidemic proportions worldwide and in the United States, racial minorities reach end stage renal disease (ESRD) at a disproportionate rate. A rural state in the heart of Appalachia, West Virginia leads the nation in rates of incident ESRD, despite its predominantly Caucasian population. Characteristics of this racially homogeneous CKD population are herein examined for their impact on progression to ESRD or death.
