To examine food insecurity (FI) prevalence among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic (April 2021) using cross-sectional design, and the moderating role of the first-generation student status in the relationship between FI and grade point average (GPA).
Three-hundred sixty students recruited mostly from upper-level kinesiology courses.
General linear model was used to predict GPA based on food security status, psychological health, and bodily pain, with subgroup analysis performed by first-generation student status.
Approximately 19% were classified as having FI. Those with FI showed lower GPA and poor health compared to those without FI. The link between FI and GPA was moderated by first-generation student status, with the negative impact of FI on GPA more clearly observed among non-first-generation students.
First-generation student status could play a role in determining the impact of FI on academic performance.
使用横断面设计，调查新冠疫情（2021 年 4 月）期间大学生的食物不安全（FI）发生率，并检验第一代大学生身份在 FI 与平均绩点（GPA）之间的关系中的调节作用。
360 名学生主要从运动机能学高级课程中招募。
使用一般线性模型，根据食品安全状况、心理健康和身体疼痛来预测 GPA，并根据第一代大学生身份进行亚组分析。
约 19%的学生被归类为存在 FI。与无 FI 的学生相比，FI 学生的 GPA 较低，健康状况较差。FI 与 GPA 之间的联系受到第一代大学生身份的调节，FI 对 GPA 的负面影响在非第一代大学生中更为明显。
第一代大学生身份可能在确定 FI 对学业成绩的影响方面发挥作用。
