The multivariate analysis showed that the lack of someone who provided emotional support was the variable that best predicted CAD symptoms. CONCLUSION The CAD prevalence rate was high and significant differences were found depending on the geographic and cultural context. OBJECTIVE Food insecurity has been related to poor health, and the effect may be heightened in later life. This study examines age and gender differences in the association of food insecurity with psychological disorders (PD) in older people in Ghana. METHODS Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regressions separately examined the associations between food insecurity and PD score using data from the 2016-2017 AgeHeaPsyWel-HeaSeeB Study. PD was assessed with the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) whilst food insecurity was assessed with past 30-day hunger (H), breakfast skipping (BS) and time of first daily meal. RESULTS Among 1,200 individuals aged ≥50 years, the prevalence of food insecurity indicators of hunger (36%), skipped breakfast (29%) and late intake of first daily meal (5%) were revealed. After full adjustment, moderate (H β = 0.705, p less then 0.001; BS β = 0.824, p less then 0.001) and severe (H β = 1.813, p less then 0.001; BS β = 1.096, p less then 0.001) food insecurity significantly increased PD score compared to no food insecurity. Moreover, having late daily meal was associated with increased the risk of PD (β = 1.035, p less then 0.001). These associations were moderated by gender and age (men and 65+ age group had increased risk of PD compared to women and 50-64 age cohorts). CONCLUSIONS Food insecurity independently increases PD in older people. These findings are relevant for public health and policy interventions aimed at improving mental health of older people.
