Food insecurity (FI) is the lack of daily access for everyone to quality food in sufficient quantity. In many populations, it presents as a chronic and persistent condition. This study analysed the association between the length of time living with FI and socio-demographic conditions in households in a semi-arid municipality in the Brazilian Northeast between 2011 and 2019.
This is a population-based cohort study among families in the municipality in Northeast Brazil (2011, 2014 and 2019). FI was estimated through the Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar (EBIA, Brazilian Household Food Insecurity Measurement Scale), and the longitudinal category of time of living with FI was adopted to classify them according to the time they remained in FI during the cohort. The association with the socio-demographic profiles of the population was verified through multinomial logistic regression.
Households in semi-arid, Northeast of Brazil.
Household respondents interviewed in 2011, 2014 and 2019 ( 274).
Sixty-seven percentage (67 %) of families lived in FI in this period. Rural residence, low monthly per capita income and low schooling of the household reference person increased the chances of these families living longer in FI. These overlapping conditions increased the odds of FI in the household.
Coping with FI requires intersectoral intervention that improves the socio-demographic conditions of the population.
粮食不安全是指并非每个人都能每天获得足够数量的优质食物。在许多人群中，这表现为一种慢性且持续存在的状况。本研究分析了2011年至2019年期间巴西东北部一个半干旱市镇家庭中粮食不安全生活时长与社会人口状况之间的关联。
这是一项针对巴西东北部该市镇家庭的基于人群的队列研究（2011年、2014年和2019年）。通过巴西家庭粮食不安全测量量表（EBIA）估算粮食不安全状况，并采用粮食不安全生活时间的纵向类别，根据队列中家庭处于粮食不安全状态的时长对其进行分类。通过多项逻辑回归验证与人群社会人口特征的关联。
巴西东北部半干旱地区的家庭。
2011年、2014年和2019年接受访谈的家庭受访者（274户）。
在此期间，67%的家庭处于粮食不安全状态。农村居住、家庭参考人月人均收入低以及受教育程度低增加了这些家庭长期处于粮食不安全状态的可能性。这些重叠状况增加了家庭粮食不安全的几率。
应对粮食不安全需要跨部门干预，以改善人群的社会人口状况。
