We evaluated the prevalence and correlates of household food insecurity (HFI) in participants attending weight management and bariatric surgery programs (WMP). We surveyed participants (N = 298) residing with a child and romantic partner from two WMP offering bariatric surgery and medical weight management. We assessed HFI using the Hunger Vital Sign and conducted multivariate logistic regression to assess correlates of HFI. HFI was present in 29.2% of participants. There were increased odds of HFI in participants with lower income and those with three or more children living at home. There was no association with sex, race, program type, education, or BMI. HFI is highly prevalent among participants of WMP. WMP should screen all participants for food insecurity to address this potential barrier to a healthy lifestyle.
我们评估了参加体重管理和减重手术项目（WMP）的参与者中家庭食物不安全（HFI）的流行率和相关因素。我们调查了居住在有孩子和浪漫伴侣的参与者（N=298），他们来自两个提供减重手术和医学体重管理的 WMP。我们使用饥饿生命体征评估 HFI，并进行多变量逻辑回归分析以评估 HFI 的相关因素。29.2%的参与者存在 HFI。收入较低和有三个或更多孩子在家居住的参与者 HFI 的可能性更大。性别、种族、项目类型、教育程度或 BMI 与 HFI 无关。HFI 在 WMP 参与者中非常普遍。WMP 应筛查所有参与者的食物不安全情况，以解决这一健康生活方式的潜在障碍。
