: Food insecurity is a public health problem. There is limited data on food insecurity in Mississippi. : We analyzed data from the 2015 Mississippi Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which included the Social Context Module for 5870 respondents. Respondents who indicated that in the past 12 months they were "always", "usually", or "sometimes" "worried or stressed about having enough money to buy nutritious meals" were considered food insecure. Food insecurity was compared across sociodemographic and health characteristics using chi-square tests, and the association between food insecurity and select cardiovascular disease risk factors was assessed using logistic regression. : The prevalence of food insecurity was 42.9%. Compared to the referent group, Mississippi adults with high blood pressure had 51% higher odds, those with diabetes had 30% higher odds, those who were not physically active had 36% higher odds, and those who consumed fewer than five fruits and vegetables daily had 50% higher odds of being food insecure. : Among Mississippi adults, food insecurity is associated with high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, fruit and vegetable consumption, physical inactivity, and smoking.
食物不安全是一个公共卫生问题。密西西比州的食物不安全数据有限。我们分析了 2015 年密西西比州行为风险因素监测系统的数据,其中包括 5870 名受访者的社会背景模块。在过去 12 个月中,那些表示“总是”、“通常”或“有时”“担心或有压力,因为没有足够的钱购买营养膳食”的受访者被认为是食物不安全。使用卡方检验比较了社会人口统计学和健康特征之间的食物不安全情况,并使用逻辑回归评估了食物不安全与某些心血管疾病风险因素之间的关联。食物不安全的患病率为 42.9%。与参照组相比,患有高血压的密西西比州成年人的患病风险高出 51%,患有糖尿病的成年人的患病风险高出 30%,不进行体育活动的成年人的患病风险高出 36%,每日食用少于五份水果和蔬菜的成年人的患病风险高出 50%。在密西西比州成年人中,食物不安全与高血压、糖尿病、肥胖、水果和蔬菜摄入、身体不活动和吸烟有关。
