Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: We investigated the relationship between disability and food security in South Africa using data from the General Household Survey (GHS).
UNASSIGNED: Regression models were utilised with GHS data (2014-2018) to gauge the likelihood of food insecurity (the dependent variable) among individuals with disabilities. Socioeconomic and demographic traits of the 2018 GHS sample were analysed. All estimates were weighted and represented nationally at the individual level.
UNASSIGNED: In this study population (32 187) of food insecure people, 9.64% are disabled. Food insecurity impacts more Black people with disabilities (91%) versus those without disabilities (90%), and disabled women (65%) versus nondisabled women (58%). Most reside in KwaZulu-Natal. Those with disability grants lower food insecurity odds, while child support grant recipients face higher odds. Household size and education are significant predictors, while marital status and gender are not.
UNASSIGNED: This study data justifies the need for disability-inclusive food security programmes in South Africa, especially amid crises like COVID-19. Significantly, there is a nil data finding about people with eating/swallowing disabilities whose needs intersect with food security. This emphasises the need for inclusive data collection that operates within a food sovereignty framework to increase the visibility of people with disabilities.
South African national surveys and censuses should include data on people with disabilities, particularly those with eating and swallowing disabilities.Updated metrics, such as the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES), if used, will facilitate easier cross-country comparisons and helps monitor progress towards achieving zero hungerThe study underscores the necessity for disability-inclusive food security programmes in South Africa, and the importance of a food sovereignty framework to enhance visibility.

摘要：
■我们使用一般家庭调查（GHS）的数据调查了南非残疾与粮食安全之间的关系。
■将回归模型与GHS数据（2014-2018年）一起使用，以评估残疾人中粮食不安全（因变量）的可能性。分析了2018年GHS样本的社会经济和人口特征。所有估计数都是加权的，并在个人一级代表全国。
■在这项研究中，人口（32187）的粮食不安全人群，9.64%被禁用。粮食不安全影响更多的残疾黑人（91％），而非残疾人（90％）残疾妇女(65%)和非残疾妇女(58%)。大多数人居住在夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省。那些有残疾的人提供更低的粮食不安全的可能性，而儿童抚养费领取者面临更高的几率。家庭规模和教育程度是重要的预测因素，而婚姻状况和性别则没有。
■这项研究数据证明了南非需要包容残疾的粮食安全计划，尤其是在像COVID-19这样的危机中。重要的是,关于饮食/吞咽障碍患者的需求与粮食安全相交的数据为零。这强调需要在粮食主权框架内进行包容性数据收集，以提高残疾人的知名度。
南非的国家调查和人口普查应包括残疾人的数据，特别是那些有进食和吞咽障碍的人。更新的指标，如粮食不安全体验量表(FIES)，如果使用,将促进更容易的跨国比较，并有助于监测实现零饥饿的进展。该研究强调了在南非开展包容残疾的粮食安全方案的必要性，以及粮食主权框架对提高知名度的重要性。
