https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ex229-compound-991.html Food insecurity is associated with negative nutritional outcomes and is experienced differently by women vs men. We evaluated the effects of gender on food insecurity and dietary intake in the United States. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2016) were analyzed. Survey-weighted linear and logistic regression models were used to evaluate predictors of food security and the effect of food security on dietary consumption and body anthropometrics. Gender was modeled as a covariable and as an effect modifier. A total of 30,251 respondents were included. Approximately 15.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] 14.1%-16.1%) of participants were food insecure. This increased over time from 11.7% in 2007-2008 to 18.2% in 2015-2016. A higher proportion of women experienced food insecurity compared with men (53.3% vs 46.7%, P = 0.02), although this was not significant after adjusting for poverty and other confounders (adjusted odds ratio 1.01; 95% CI 0.93-1.09; P = 0.81). Among food insecure women, 32.4% (95% CI 30.0%-34.9%) received emergency food assistance and 75.0% (95% CI 71.5%-78.2%) received supplemental nutrition assistance benefits. Relative to men, food insecure women were less likely to meet the recommended dietary allowance of most macronutrients and micronutrients. They were also significantly more likely to be obese, have a wider waist circumference, and have higher total body fat percentage (P interaction all <0.001). Food insecurity represents a substantial public health challenge in the United States that differentially affects women compared with men. Alternative strategies may be required to meet the nutritional requirements for food insecure women.
