To determine predictors of the association between being a Veteran and adult food security, as well as to examine the relation of potential covariates to this relationship.
Data collected during 2011-2012, 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were pooled for analyses. Veterans (self-reported) were matched to non-Veterans on age, race/ethnicity, sex and education. Adjusted logistic regression was used to determine the odds of Veterans having high food security . the combination of marginal, low and very low food security compared with non-Veterans.
2011-2012, 2013-2014 and 2015-2016 NHANES.
1227 Veterans; 2432 non-Veterans.
Veteran status had no effect on the proportion of food insecurities between Veterans and non-Veterans reporting high (Veterans . non-Veteran: 79 % . 80 %), marginal (9 % . 8 %), low (5 % . 6 %) and very low (8 % . 6 %) food security ( = 0·11). However, after controlling for covariates, Veterans tended to be less likely to have high food security (OR: 0·82 (95 % CI 0·66, 1·02), = 0·07). Further, non-Hispanic White Veterans (OR: 0·72 (95 % CI 0·55, 0·95), = 0·02) and Veterans completing some college (OR: 0·71 (95 % CI 0·50, 0·99), < 0·05) were significantly less likely to experience high food security compared with non-Veterans.
This study supports previous research findings that after controlling for covariates, Veterans tend to be less likely to have high food security. It also highlights ethnicity and level of education as important socio-economic determinates of food security status in Veterans.
确定退伍军人与成人粮食安全之间关联的预测因素，并研究潜在协变量与这种关系的关系。
对 2011-2012 年、2013-2014 年和 2015-2016 年全国健康与营养调查（NHANES）收集的数据进行了汇总分析。退伍军人（自我报告）按年龄、种族/民族、性别和教育程度与非退伍军人相匹配。采用调整后的逻辑回归来确定退伍军人拥有高粮食安全的可能性，以及与非退伍军人相比，退伍军人拥有高粮食安全的可能性。
2011-2012 年、2013-2014 年和 2015-2016 年 NHANES。
1227 名退伍军人；2432 名非退伍军人。
退伍军人身份对退伍军人和非退伍军人报告的高（退伍军人：79%，非退伍军人：80%）、边缘（9%，非退伍军人：8%）、低（5%，非退伍军人：6%）和极低（8%，非退伍军人：6%）粮食安全比例没有影响（ = 0.11）。然而，在控制了协变量后，退伍军人不太可能拥有高粮食安全（OR：0.82（95%CI 0.66, 1.02）， = 0.07）。此外，非西班牙裔白人退伍军人（OR：0.72（95%CI 0.55, 0.95）， = 0.02）和完成一些大学学业的退伍军人（OR：0.71（95%CI 0.50, 0.99）， < 0.05）与非退伍军人相比，不太可能经历高粮食安全。
本研究支持先前的研究结果，即在控制了协变量后，退伍军人往往不太可能拥有高粮食安全。它还强调了种族和教育程度是退伍军人粮食安全状况的重要社会经济决定因素。
