The present study examines the association between mild and moderate-to-severe household food insecurity and school readiness among a nationally representative sample of preschool-aged children.
Cross-sectional data pertaining to household food availability as well as four domains of school readiness - early learning skills, self-regulation, social-emotional development and physical health & motor development - were employed.
The USA.
15 402 children aged 3-5 years from the 2016-2018 National Survey of Children's Health.
Both mild and moderate-to-severe food insecurity are associated with an increase in needing support or being at-risk in each of the four school readiness domains, particularly Self-Regulation (IRR = 4·31; CI 2·68, 6·95) and Social-Emotional Development (IRR = 3·43; CI 2·16, 5·45). Furthermore, while nearly half of the children in food-secure households are on-track across all four school readiness domains (47·49 %), only one in four children experiencing moderate-to-severe household food insecurity is on-track across all domains (25·26 %).
Household food insecurity is associated with reductions in school readiness among preschool-aged children.
本研究考察了轻度和中重度家庭食物不安全与学龄前儿童学校准备之间的关系。
使用了横断面数据，涉及家庭食物供应情况以及学校准备的四个领域——早期学习技能、自我调节、社会情感发展和身心健康与运动发展。
美国。
来自 2016-2018 年全国儿童健康调查的 15402 名 3-5 岁儿童。
轻度和中重度食物不安全均与四个学校准备领域中的每个领域需要支持或处于风险增加有关，尤其是自我调节（IRR=4.31；95%CI2.68，6.95）和社会情感发展（IRR=3.43；95%CI2.16，5.45）。此外，虽然近一半的食物安全家庭的儿童在所有四个学校准备领域都达到了标准（47.49%），但只有四分之一经历中重度家庭食物不安全的儿童在所有领域都达到了标准（25.26%）。
家庭食物不安全与学龄前儿童学校准备的下降有关。
