Objetive: To estimate the proportion of households with food insecurity (FI) in twenty municipalities in the state of Nayarit, Mexico, and to identify the factors that determine it.
FI was estimated using the harmonized version for Mexico of the Latin American and Caribbean household food security scale (ELCSA). Households were classified according to FI level: mild, moderate and severe. The distribution of FI was described by type of locality and prevalence of FI was analyzed by associated variables.
76.2% of households were identified with some FI level.The prevalence of FI was higher in rural households. Food insecurity situation was focused on households with the highest number of children under five years, highest number of older than 64 years, highest number of household members, female headship and less schooling of the household head.
ELCSA can be useful to associate FI with socioeconomic factors.
目的:估计墨西哥纳亚里特州20个市粮食不安全(FI)家庭的比例,并确定其决定因素。
使用拉丁美洲和加勒比家庭粮食安全量表(ELCSA)墨西哥协调版估计FI。家庭根据FI水平分类:轻度、中度和重度。按地区类型描述FI分布,并通过相关变量分析FI患病率。
76.2%的家庭被确定为有某种FI水平。农村家庭的FI患病率更高。粮食不安全情况集中在五岁以下儿童数量最多、64岁以上老人数量最多、家庭成员数量最多、女性户主以及户主受教育程度较低的家庭。
ELCSA有助于将FI与社会经济因素联系起来。
