Food insecurity is the lack of sufficient food in quantity and/or quality. Psychological distress includes mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. This review provides current information on research examining the association between food insecurity and psychological distress.
Among studies published in the previous 5 years, food insecurity was significantly and positively associated with multiple indicators of psychological distress. This included cross-sectional and longitudinal studies, as well as primary data collection and secondary data analyses, from countries of varying income levels. Articles also provided evidence within various populations, such as adults of all ages, college students, those living with chronic disease, and parents. Food insecurity and psychological distress are interconnected health issues. Future research should consider a number of important gaps in the literature, with the most important being the development of interventions to improve food insecurity and psychological health concurrently.
食品不安全是指数量和/或质量上缺乏足够的食物。心理困扰包括心理健康问题，如抑郁和焦虑。这篇综述提供了当前关于研究食品不安全与心理困扰之间关联的信息。
在过去 5 年发表的研究中，食品不安全与多种心理困扰指标显著正相关。这包括横断面和纵向研究，以及来自不同收入水平国家的原始数据收集和二次数据分析。文章还在不同人群中提供了证据，如所有年龄段的成年人、大学生、患有慢性疾病的人群和父母。食品不安全和心理困扰是相互关联的健康问题。未来的研究应该考虑文献中的一些重要空白，最重要的是开发同时改善食品不安全和心理健康的干预措施。
