Abstract Objectives Examine the relationship between household food insecurity (HFS; i.e., access to nutritionally adequate and safe food) and disordered eating behaviors (i.e., restriction, bingeing, insulin manipulation, etc.) among a sample of young adults with youth-onset type 1 (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods We used cross-sectional data from the SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth Study. Individuals (n = 792) ages ≥18 years completed the U.S. Household Food Security Survey Module and the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey-Revised (DEPS-R) between 2016 and 2019. We converted HFS scores to a 10-point scale and dichotomized scores into food secure (HFS ≤ 2.2) vs. food insecure (HFS > 2.2). Multivariable linear regression was used to evaluate the association of HFS with continuous DEPS-R score (i.e., 0–80, with a greater score indicating greater symptoms of disordered eating), adjusting for potential confounders (i.e., sex, age, race/ethnicity, education, household income, insurance, depressive symptoms, and duration of diabetes). We further stratified analyses by diabetes type. Results Participants were on average 23.8 ± 3.7 years, 59.6% female, 49.6% non-Latino white, and had a mean diabetes duration of 11.5 ± 3.1 years. The overall mean DEPS-R score was 17.3 ± 10.0 points. Mean DEPS-R scores in individuals living in food secure households (n = 709) and food insecure households (n = 83) were 16.6 ± 9.45 and 23.4 ± 12.4, respectively. The adjusted DEPS-R scores were 3.6 points (95% CI = 1.5, 5.7; P < 0.001) higher in food insecure compared to food secure households. In individuals with T1D (n = 600), the adjusted DEPS-R scores were 5.0 points (95% CI = 2.6, 7.4; P < 0.001) higher in food insecure (n = 55) compared to food secure (n = 545) households. In individuals with T2D (n = 192), there was no significant difference in mean DEPS-R scores between food insecure (n = 28) versus food secure (n = 164) households in unadjusted or adjusted models (P > 0.05). Conclusions Lower household food security in young adults with T1D, but not T2D, is associated with increased disordered eating scores. These results may allow clinicians and other public health professionals to target individuals with low household food security as being at higher risk for potential disordered eating, particularly those with T1D.

Abstract Background Self-weighing is widespread among young adults and is sometimes recommended by healthcare providers for weight management. The present study aims to deepen our understanding of who is frequently self-weighing among young adults, and to examine for whom self-weighing impacts mood based on weighing frequency and other eating and weight-related characteristics. Methods Survey data were collected from a large population-based sample of young adults (31.1 ± 1.6y) participating in Project EAT-IV (n = 1719). Cross-sectional data were stratified across sex and analyzed with chi-square, t-tests, and linear and logistic regressions controlling for age, ethnicity/race, education level, and income. Results Self-weighing frequency was higher among male and female young adults with a current eating disorder, those trying to lose weight or who endorsed any disordered eating behaviors or cognition, and females with higher BMI. Young adult females were significantly more likely than males to report that self-weighing impacted their mood (53% vs 27%, p < 0.05). Among both male and female young adults, there was a higher probability of participants reporting that self-weighing impacted their mood among those who were self-weighing more frequently, had higher BMI, were trying to lose weight, and endorsed disordered eating behaviors or cognitions. Conclusion Findings suggest that for many young adults, particularly females and those with weight-related concerns, self-weighing is a behavior that comes with emotional valence. The emotional consequences of self-weighing should be considered when making public health and clinical recommendations regarding the usefulness of self-weighing.
