The divergent validity demonstrated weak correlations between BASDAI and OWD (r=.43), MSD (r=.34), CE (r=-.44), FFD (r=.47). The divergent validity of BASFI could not be assessed due to lack of a suitable comparing parameter. The instruments revealed acceptable internal consistency as Cronbach's alpha was 0.86 for BASDAI and 0.93 for BASFI. A 7-day test-retest reliability measured by the intraclass correlation coefficient were 0.80 (CI at 95% = 0.58-0.90) for BASDAI and 0.83 (CI at 95% = 95% 0.64-0.92) for BASFI respectively. Bangla version of BASDAI and BASFI may be useful in disease activity and functional ability assessment in AS patients. Bangla version of BASDAI and BASFI may be useful in disease activity and functional ability assessment in AS patients. Food insecurity (a lack of stable access to nutritious food) is reliably associated with poor diet, malnutrition, and obesity; however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. In this study, the hypothesis that these relations are explained by higher levels of distress, which are due to the experience of food insecurity, and unhealthy coping behaviors (eating high-calorie foods, drinking alcohol) was tested. Adults from the United Kingdom (N = 604), who were recruited online and at food banks, completed questionnaire measures of household food insecurity, physical stress, psychological distress, eating to cope, drinking to cope, diet quality, and self-reported height and weight to calculate BMI. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships, including a multilevel structural model controlling for the effect of income. As predicted, food insecurity was indirectly associated with higher BMI via greater distress and eating to cope. Food insecurity was directly associated with poorer diet quali
