Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The 2019 novel coronavirus epidemic (COVID-19) is a highly contagious viral disease with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Food insecurity has frequently been linked to the emergence of infectious diseases. The present study was conducted to determine the association of food insecurity and socioeconomic status with COVID-19 in the Iranian population.
UNASSIGNED: The study was a case-control study including 248 participants (124 COVID-19-infected people with a positive PCR test and a history of clinical symptoms of COVID-19 and 124 non-infected people with a negative PCR test and no history of clinical symptoms of COVID-19 infection) aged 20 to 60 years. The participants in the two groups were matched based on age, sex, and BMI. Anthropometric and socioeconomic data were collected. Individuals\' food insecurity status during the previous 12 months (before the disease for the case group) was assessed using a validated 18-item USDA questionnaire.
UNASSIGNED: About 44% of the controls and 76% of the case group were food-insecure (P < 0.001). After controlling for any possible confounders, only food insecurity and poor economic level increased the risk of COVID-19, by about three times (OR = 3.10; 95% CI = 1.44-6.68; P = 0.004) and 9.5 times (OR = 9.53; 95% CI = 3.73-24.30; P < 0.001), respectively.
UNASSIGNED: Food insecurity and poor economic status are linked to an increased risk of COVID-19. Future prospective studies are needed to confirm these outcomes and identify the underlying mechanisms.

摘要：
■2019年新型冠状病毒流行（COVID-19）是一种高度传染性的病毒性疾病，发病率和死亡率很高。粮食不安全经常与传染病的出现有关。本研究旨在确定伊朗人口中粮食不安全和社会经济地位与COVID-19的关系。
该研究是一项病例对照研究，包括248名20至60岁的参与者（124名PCR检测阳性且有COVID-19临床症状史的COVID-19感染者和124名PCR检测阴性且无COVID-19感染临床症状史的非感染者）。两组参与者根据年龄进行匹配，性别,BMI。收集人体测量和社会经济数据。使用经过验证的18项USDA问卷评估了过去12个月（病例组的疾病发生前）个人的粮食不安全状况。
■约44%的对照组和76%的病例组食物不安全(P<0.001)。在控制了任何可能的混杂因素之后，只有粮食不安全和经济水平低下才会使COVID-19的风险增加约3倍（OR=3.10；95％CI=1.44-6.68；P=0.004）和9.5倍（OR=9.53；95％CI=3.73-24.30；P<0.001），分别。
粮食不安全和经济状况不佳与COVID-19的风险增加有关。需要未来的前瞻性研究来确认这些结果并确定潜在的机制。
