Article Synopsis
- Food insecurity, linked to negative health outcomes like obesity, was studied to understand its association and the role of various mediating factors among individuals living in a deprived urban area in the Netherlands.
- In a study of 250 participants, a prevalence of 26% for food insecurity was found, with a significant association to obesity (OR=2.49), but not to being overweight.
- Factors such as living situation, diet quality, and smoking status partially mediated the relationship between food insecurity and obesity, highlighting the need for further studies to explore this connection and to address food insecurity in obesity prevention efforts.
