OBJECTIVE
The present study sought to extend our understanding of food insecurity among college students, including aims to replicate the high prevalence of food insecurity among college student samples, examine the food insecurity - emotional eating association, and determine whether biological sex moderates this association.
PARTICIPANTS
Participants included 232 students (82.3% female; 83.2% Caucasian) enrolled at a U.S. university.
METHODS
Participants completed the Household Food Security Survey Module: Short Form and Emotional Eating Scale as part of a larger study.
RESULTS
Of the participants, 37.5% reported food insecurity. Food insecurity was positively associated with emotional eating (B = 1.35, 95% CI[0.24, 2.48]), controlling for body mass index (BMI). The association was stronger for males (95% CI[1.07, 6.54]) than females (95% CI[-0.29, 2.07]).
CONCLUSIONS
College students, particularly males, who experience food insecurity may be at greater risk for emotional eating. Future research should investigate risk factors linked to both food insecurity and emotional eating among college students.
目的
本研究旨在进一步了解大学生的食物不安全问题，包括复制大学生样本中食物不安全的高发生率，检验食物不安全与情绪性进食的关联，以及确定生物性别是否调节这种关联。
参与者
参与者包括美国一所大学的 232 名学生（82.3%为女性；83.2%为白种人）。
方法
参与者完成了家庭食物安全调查模块：短表和情绪性进食量表，作为更大规模研究的一部分。
结果
在参与者中，有 37.5%报告存在食物不安全。食物不安全与情绪性进食呈正相关（B=1.35，95%CI[0.24, 2.48]），控制了体重指数（BMI）后也是如此。这种关联在男性（95%CI[1.07, 6.54]）中比女性（95%CI[-0.29, 2.07]）更强。
结论
经历食物不安全的大学生，尤其是男性，可能面临更大的情绪性进食风险。未来的研究应该调查与大学生食物不安全和情绪性进食相关的风险因素。
