The relationship between food security and ideal cardiovascular health while addressing disparities across minoritized groups.
By Dr. Chinta SidharthanMay 7 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in BMC Public Health , researchers investigated the relationship between food security and ideal cardiovascular health while addressing disparities across minoritized groups by studying a representative sample of the United States population balanced for race, ethnicity, and sex.
Furthermore, households headed by single parents or women were also found to be more likely to experience food insecurity. About the study In the present study, the researchers aimed to understand the relationship between food insecurity and achieving ideal cardiovascular health while considering the disparities in food security status based on race, ethnicity, and sex.
Participants were included only if they had complete data on the exposure and outcomes , as well as confounders such as body mass index , smoking status, physical activity levels, hypertension, sleep duration, dyslipidemia, and prediabetes or type 2 diabetes status. Results The results confirmed the hypothesis that food insecurity was linked to a lower prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health and that minoritized groups based on race, ethnicity, and sex did face a disproportionate burden of food insecurity.
