“…Untreated dental caries was associated with FI in the lower income strata in a Poisson regression model (adjusted PR = 1.51; CI = 1.01-2.29; p = 0.045) [19]. In the other study, children from households with low or very low food security had significantly higher caries prevalence (PR = 2.00 and PR = 1.70, respectively) than did children living in fully food-secure households [24]. Dental caries was 1.5 times more likely to be associated with high food-insecurity scores after adjusting for socioeconomic status and sex [23].…”

“…Two were from the same group of researchers using the same sample, although the analyses and outcomes were different. The outcomes associated with FI found in the papers were related to greater experience of dental pain [5], dental pain at night [21], greater prior experience with restoration and extraction [22], greater frequency of prosthesis use [5], untreated dental caries [19,23,24] and related to a poor oral health [25].…”

“…The principal findings of the papers included into this review indicate an overall association between FI and poor oral health. The results suggest that children in a situation of FI may have more untreated dental caries [19,23,24] and dental pain resulting from caries [5,21] as well as greater prevalence rates of restorations and extractions [22]. Although no causal relationship can be established from the cross-sectional study design, these outcomes allow some suppositions.…”

“…Three studies received seven points. One of them did not control the age [24], the other collected the main variable by self-report [25] and in the third study the sample was not randomized and the data on oral health and FI were collected through telephone interviews, with no clinical examinations performed [5]. Although FI in the seventh and eighth studies was determined by self-reports, these papers were attributed eight points due to the fact that a clinical examination was performed for the collection of the response variable [19,23].…”

Objective: To carry out a systematic review of the scientific literature addressing the possible association between food insecurity and oral health. Material and Methods: An electronic search limited to studies conducted with humans was performed in six databases (Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus, Lilacs, BBO, Cochrane Library) and IADR abstracts, with no language or publication date restrictions. The search strategy resulted in 614 titles/abstracts. Seven cross-sectional studies were selected from this total. Data extraction and quality assessments were performed independently by two raters using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Results: The following outcomes were associated with food insecurity: dental pain at night or in the previous month, the use of prosthesis, prior experience with restorations and extractions, untreated dental caries and related poor oral health. Two of the four selected papers were conducted by the same group of researchers using the same sample, which may have led to citation bias. The oral status of the individuals was assessed by self-reports rather than clinical examinations in four papers. The studies used between two and eighteen questions to assess FI. The duration of FI was not determined in any study, which makes it more difficult to associate FI with chronic diseases. Conclusion: Although the scientific evidence suggests an association between the cumulative history of oral problems (untreated caries, related poor oral health, dental pain, restorations, extractions and use of prosthesis) and FI, there is a lack of prospective cohort studies to support this hypothesis.

“…However, there are insufficient studies on the impact of household food security on children's lifestyle. Moreover, there are links between parental socioeconomic situation and household food security [6]. Nevertheless, research on the simultaneous integration of the interrelationships among the four well-known concepts into one model remains scarce.…”

Comparing Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood Predictors in Structural Equation Modeling of Children’s Lifestyle Index

Several factors may influence children's lifestyle. The main purpose of this study is to introduce a children's lifestyle index framework and model it based on structural equation modeling (SEM) with Maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian predictors. This framework includes parental socioeconomic status, household food security, parental lifestyle, and children's lifestyle. The sample for this study involves 452 volunteer Chinese families with children 7-12 years old. The experimental results are compared in terms of root mean square error, coefficient of determination, mean absolute error, and mean absolute percentage error metrics. An analysis of the proposed causal model suggests there are multiple significant interconnections among the variables of interest. According to both Bayesian and ML techniques, the proposed framework illustrates that parental socioeconomic status and parental lifestyle strongly impact children's lifestyle. The impact of household food security on children's lifestyle is rejected. However, there is a strong relationship between household food security and both parental socioeconomic status and parental lifestyle. Moreover, the outputs illustrate that the Bayesian prediction model has a good fit with the data, unlike the ML approach. The reasons for this discrepancy between ML and Bayesian prediction are debated and potential advantages and caveats with the application of the Bayesian approach in future studies are discussed.

Multigenerational Families and Food Insecurity

The prevalence of multigenerational families is on the rise in the United States, as is food insecurity. We estimate the association of resident grandchildren on transitions in food insecurity using longitudinally linked two-year panels of the Current Population Survey from 2001 to 2010. We find that rates of food insecurity in families with a grandchild present are at least twice as high in a typical year compared with families without a resident grandchild, and the extent of very low food security increased substantially faster among these households over the past decade. The rise in food insecurity during and after the Great Recession is due to both increased entry into food insecurity and decreased exit out of food insecurity. A similar trend accounts for the rise in multigenerational households during the recession-grandchildren were more likely to move in with their grandparents, and once there, were less likely to move out. Our transition models show that whether grandchildren remain, or in periods of transition, multigenerational families are at heightened risk of entering food insecurity and remaining in this state. However, the entry of a grandchild may not always be a negative for the familys food security, nor the exit of the child a positive. Entrance of a child seems to buffer the family from extreme forms of food insecurity while exit exposes the family to risk of deeper food insecurity.
