The purpose of this review is to examine the prevalence of food insecurity (FI) among the general college student population with a focus on student-athletes and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on FI in these groups.
FI is estimated to be more prevalent in college students than in the general population, although ranges vary widely. Less is known about FI among college student-athletes. Data on changes in FI prevalence pre-pandemic and during is mixed. Colleges and universities should invest in interventions to address FI on their campuses, and further research on FI among student-athletes and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on FI is needed.
本文旨在调查普通大学生群体中食物不安全(FI)的流行情况,重点关注运动员,并探讨 COVID-19 大流行对这些群体中 FI 的影响。
FI 在大学生中的发生率估计高于普通人群,但范围差异很大。关于运动员大学生中 FI 的情况知之甚少。关于大流行前和大流行期间 FI 流行率变化的数据喜忧参半。高校应投资于干预措施,以解决校园内的 FI 问题,并且需要进一步研究运动员 FI 以及 COVID-19 大流行对 FI 的影响。
