Abstract Objectives: to describe the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages in Colombia, South America and variables associated with this consumption. Methods: based on the Food Frequency Questionnaire applied in the National Survey of the Nutritional Situation of Colombia (2010), the prevalence and frequency/day of the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages by 10,070 subjects between 5 and 17 years old was estimated. Results: the prevalence of sugar sweetened beverages consumption in subjects between 5 and 17 years old was 85.3%, and the average frequency of consumption was 0.71 times/day. The relationship between age and the prevalence of consumption displayed a J form, and the association with frequency in times/day was linear. The highest consumption occurred at 16 years of age, with a prevalence of 90.4% and an average frequency of 0.83 times/day. Overweight and obesity were not associated with consumption (p>0.05). Conclusions: the prevalence and average frequency of consumption were positively associated with age, wealth, and level of urbanism and conversely associated with education and household food security. Children with stunting have a reduced prevalence but increased frequency of consumption. The consumption of sweetened-beverages is an expression of the stage of nutritional and food transitions.

Latar Belakang : Beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi terjadinya stunting anak usia 6-24 bulan antara lain kurangnya asupan zat gizi, penyakit infeksi, lingkungan, sosial ekonomi keluarga dan riwayat kehamilan ibu. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis proporsi pengeluaran pangan rumah tangga, ketahanan pangan, dan asupan zat gizi sebagai faktor risiko terjadinya stunting usia 6-24 bulan.Metode : Penelitian ini menggunakan desain case-control dengan masing-masing kelompok kasus (stunting) dan kontrol (tidak stunting) berjumlah 24 sampel yang diambil menggunakan purposive sampling pada anak usia 6-24 bulan yang berada di Semarang Utara. Stunting diukur berdasarkan z-score tinggi badan menurut umur (TB/U) dianalisis dengan software World Health Organization (WHO) Anthro. Data yang diambil yaitu berat badan lahir, panjang badan lahir, tingkat pendidikan ibu, pendapatan keluarga dan pengeluaran rumah tangga. Data riwayat asupan energi, protein, vitamin A dan seng selama 1 tahun diperoleh dengan menggunakan Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Data ketahanan pangan diperoleh dengan menggunakan kuisioner Household Food Security Scale Module (HFSSM). Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji Chi Square dan analisis regresi logistik.Hasil : Baduta stunting lebih banyak mengalami kerawanan pangan rumah tangga (79,2%), riwayat kekurangan asupan protein (70,8%), vitamin A (75%) dan seng (66,7%) dibandingkan dengan anak yang tidak stunting. Ketahanan pangan rumah tangga (OR=6,9), riwayat asupan protein (OR=8,6), vitamin A (OR=20,6) dan seng (OR=8,7) merupakan faktor yang paling berisiko terhadap kejadian stunting pada baduta usia 6-24 bulan (p<0,05).Simpulan: Kerawanan pangan rumah tangga, kurangnya asupan protein, vitamin A dan seng merupakan faktor yang berisiko meningkatkan kejadian stunting pada baduta usia 6-24 bulan.

Abstract Objectives Explore the relationship between attendance at USDA Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) sites and baseline household food security status. Methods Two elementary schools in low-income urban neighborhoods of Columbus, OH were recruited. Families with children at these schools in grades pre-kindergarten through fifth were invited to participate. Caregivers completed a demographic survey at the end of school year 1 (baseline [t0]). Household food security was assessed at t0 using the USDA 6-item Short Form Food Security Module and based on responses participants were categorized as living in high marginal food security (HMFS), low food security (LFS), or very low food security (VLFS) households. Child attendance at USDA SFSP sites was collected via weekly text messages to caregivers using the online TextIt© platform. ANOVA was conducted to determine differences in attendance level by household food security status. Results 113 children representing 78 families enrolled. Mean age was 7.10 ± 0.21 yr, 79.65% were African American, 72.73% were low-income, and mean annual income was $28,222. Approximately 27% of families (n = 21) reported living in LFS (n = 10, 14.82%) or VLFS (n = 11, 12.10%) households. Overall mean attendance at summer programming was 10.40 ± 1.43 days (out of 50 possible days) and attendance by household food security status was 10.51 ± 1.61 (HMFS), 19.00 ± 6.15 (LFS), and 5.70 ± 2.85 (VLFS) days with a significant difference (P = 0.04) between LFS and VLFS households. Conclusions Children in VLFS (vs HMFS and LFS) households, who are at increased risk for hunger during the summertime window of risk, are attending sites offering the USDA SFSP least frequently. Future research and programmatic efforts should be targeted at children from the most vulnerable households to ensure food security during the summertime window of risk.

Insufficient food production and low incomes are common problems in developing countries, thus perpetuating malnutrition and poverty conditions; establishing food security as an indicator of great impact to estimate the quality of life of families. The objective of this study was to assess the level of food security, nutritional status and socioeconomic status of families in an urban community. 155 families from an urban community of Naguanagua, Carabobo state, Venezuela were evaluated during the months August-September 2018. An ad hoc clinical history was designed, the Household Food Insecurity (FI) Scale was applied, the nutritional status was assessed by body mass index (BMI), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR); as well as the socioeconomic status (Graffar-Méndez Castellano and the Poverty Threshold). 58.1% of families presented mild FI. 19.5% of the pediatric group presented malnutrition, while in adults, overweight and obesity stood out (44.1%); 62.5% presented cardio-metabolic risk for WHtR; 16.4% exhibited low protein reserves and 92.9% of the families were in extreme poverty. Food security was significantly correlated with BMI, WHtR, weight loss, and income. In conclusion, almost the entire sample was found in FI and in extreme poverty.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between maternal, household and socio-economic characteristics and household food security in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach The data used are cross-section, secondary data from the Economic Census of Indonesia in 2016 (BPS, 2016) from 23 districts/cities. The central message of the present empirical analysis is that relatively simple indicators perform well in locating food security. Findings The analysis proves that mother’s age has a significant effect on average calorie intake at the household level. This may be due to the fact that mother’s age plays an important role in the provision of proper food to her family. Higher-aged mothers can understand better about the food quality and requirement for the family as compared to low-aged mother. Environmental factors like access to safe water and better sanitation facilities within housing premises indirectly enhance the absorptive capacity of available food intake. Thus, environmental factors could play an important role in food security through calorie intake, irrespective of economic status of the household. This analysis further strengthens the earlier findings that higher food intake availability alone may not lead to improved health outcome, unless measures are taken to improve access to safe water and sanitation. The contribution of dependency ratio in per capita calorie intake also appeared to be significant in this study. This shows that high dependency ratio reduces the per capita calorie intake due to a larger share in food items among households. Originality/value No previous study has comprehensively studied the relationship between maternal, household, and socio-economic characteristics and household food security, especially in Aceh, Indonesia.

Abstract Objectives To examine the relationship between acculturation and diet quality of preschoolers in the Phoenix area. There is little research on how the dietary intake of preschoolers outside of the home is impacted by parental acculturation in food secure and insecure households. Methods This study was a cross-sectional secondary data analysis of the SAGE (Sustainability via Active Garden Education) research project. SAGE provides education on gardening, physical activity, and nutrition to preschoolers in Phoenix, AZ. Preschoolers (Mean age 53.1 + 3.5 mos; n = 154) were recruited from early care and education centers (ECEC). Acculturation was evaluated using a parent-report validated survey on a scale of 1–5 (1 = low acculturation). Parents also reported sociodemographic variables (child sex, age, ethnicity, and family income) and household food security status (dichotomized as food secure or insecure). Meals were observed by trained research staff at the ECEC for one full day (breakfast, lunch, snack) and recorded using the Nutrition Data System for Research. Linear regressions examined the relationship between acculturation and diet quality (total kcal, fruits, vegetables, saturated fat, added sugar intake) adjusting for sociodemographics and household food security status. Results A total of 78.6% of preschoolers in this study were Hispanic. Of the 154 children, 52.6% and 47.4% were male and female, respectively. The mean acculturation score was 3.0 + 1.3 with 41.8% of the sample being food insecure. Higher acculturation was significantly associated with increased vegetable (β = 0.095, P = 0.028) and saturated fat intake (β = 1.001, P = 0.018). Acculturation trended an association with increased kcal intake (β = 47.475, P = 0.053). Conclusions Results suggest parent acculturation is associated with healthy and unhealthy eating habits in preschoolers outside of the home regardless of food security status. When evaluating diet quality of preschoolers, acculturation needs to be assessed to promote improved health behaviors, especially in relation to saturated fat and vegetable intake.

A study was carried out at flood affected reverine villages of three upazilas (small administrative unit) under Jamalpur district in Bangladesh during September, 2011 to May, 2012 to explore the relationship, contribution and direct–indirect effect between personal attributes and their coping strategies towards household food security practiced by the farmers during flood. Data were collected from randomly selected respondents and analyzed through both the qualitative and quantitative techniques by using a statistical program. Out of 18 personal, economic, social and psychological characteristics of the farmers, the personal education, housing condition, annual income, annual expenditure, savings, organizational participation, participation in IGAs, cosmopoliteness, environmental awareness, knowledge on flood coping mechanisms and household food security had positive but both credit received and utilization of received credit had negative. In addition, age, family size, training received, risk orientation and involvement in safety net programs are insignificant with coping strategies towards household food security during flood period.

Abstract Objectives We aim to compare dietary intakes among food secure and food insecure vulnerable women from Culiacan, Sinaloa. Methods Cross-sectional study design. We collected data by direct interviews from adult females. Questionnaires included socio-demographic characteristics, the Mexican Food Security Scale and a 24-h recall. Weight and height were measured, and BMI was calculated. Associations between food security levels and dietary intakes were assessed using Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables and Χ2 test for categorical variables. Data is presented as mean ± SD or median (IQR). Results One hundred and seventy five women (aged: 46.2 ± 15.9 y; BMI: 29.8 ± 6.8 k/m2), participated in this research. The prevalence of household food security (HFS) was 51%, whereas 49% of the population reported some level of household food insecurity (HFI); 26% mild insecurity, 12% moderate insecurity and 11% severe insecurity. Energy intake was 1586 kcal (1149, 2147 kcal), the percentage of energy from carbohydrates was 56%, from fat 28%, and from protein 16%. Daily intake of saturated fat did not comply with the national recommendation, saturated fat provided 11% of daily energy, monounsaturated fat 10%, and polyunsaturated fat 7%. There were no differences between groups (HFS vs. HFI) for age, BMI and energy intake; however, the HFS group had a significantly higher intake of saturated fat; 19 vs. 13 g (P = 0.006). Sugar and calcium intake were also higher in the HFS than in the HFI group, 69 vs. 51 g and 716 vs. 510 mg, respectively (P &lt; 0.05). Total fat (53 vs. 43 g), riboflavin (1.27 vs. 0.99 mg) and vitamin A (398 vs. 337 µg RE) showed a trend towards an increased intake in the HFS group (P &lt; 0.100). Food security is associated with higher intake of macro and micronutrients, although further analysis is needed to identify the main food sources of saturated fat, sugar and calcium. Conclusions Although there is a high prevalence of overweight and obesity, deficient dietary intake of micronutrients could indicate the presence of “hidden hunger” (micronutrients deficiencies) on this vulnerable population. A better understanding of the relationship between food security and dietary intake in this population, may be useful in developing successful interventions. Funding Sources UAS, CONACyT.
