Historically, food insecurity has been a problem for the Hispanic/Latino population in the United States. Variations in food insecurity exist among this population by origin, immigration status, household composition, and region. The coronavirus pandemic has exacerbated existing vulnerabilities this population faces with food insecurity including limited economic resources, reliance on programs unprepared for atypical circumstances, closure of avenues providing access to meals, and unemployment. This paper reviews key factors related to the current rate of food insecurity among the Hispanic/Latino population in the mainland United States and is an exemplar of similar variability found in Puerto Rico. Recommendations for reducing food insecurity in this population are provided. (word count:109).
从历史上看，粮食不安全一直是美国西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口面临的问题。这一人群的粮食不安全状况因原籍国、移民身份、家庭构成和地区的不同而有所不同。冠状病毒大流行加剧了这一人群面临的粮食不安全的现有脆弱性，包括经济资源有限、依赖为非典型情况做好准备的计划、获得膳食途径的关闭以及失业。本文综述了与美国本土西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口当前粮食不安全率相关的关键因素，这也是波多黎各类似变异性的范例。为减少这一人群的粮食不安全提出了建议。（字数：109）
