目的:粮食安全是一个复杂和多层面的问题,在过去的二十年里,它已被全世界公认为一个严重的公共卫生问题。本研究旨在确定喀山医科大学大学生的粮食不安全患病率以及一些相关因素,包括社会经济和心理健康决定因素。
方法:本研究是一项横断面研究,对目前在喀山医科大学学习的358名学生进行。怀孕或有特殊饮食的学生被排除在外。通过系统方法选择样品。粮食安全是使用美国农业部衡量的。食物频率问卷,21项抑郁焦虑压力量表,和社会经济问卷用于调查营养素的摄入量,抑郁/焦虑状态,和社会经济因素,分别。卡方,独立t检验,采用logistic回归分析。
结果:根据本研究的结果,16.8%的学生经历过不同程度的粮食不安全,83.2%的参与者被归类为食品安全。性别,财政援助,健康保险,抑郁症,学生的职业与粮食不安全有关(P<0.05)。此外,Logistic回归分析结果显示抑郁(OR1.04;95%CI1.01-1.07),和学生的工作(OR0.43;95%CI0.23-0.80)对学生的粮食不安全影响最大。
结论:本研究的结果表明,经济因素和性别因素对学生的食品安全有显著影响。此外,本研究证明了食物不安全与抑郁症等精神障碍之间的关系.然而,我们无法检测到每日能量摄入与大量营养素之间的任何显著关联,这表明需要进行更详细的研究.
OBJECTIVE: Food security is a complex and multidimensional issue that has been recognized as a serious public health problem all over the world for the past two decades. The present
study was designed and conducted to determine the prevalence of food insecurity among college students at the Kashan University of Medical Sciences and some related factors including socioeconomic and mental health determinants.
METHODS: The present
study is a cross-sectional
study conducted on 358 students who were currently studying at the Kashan University of Medical Sciences. The students who were pregnant or had a special diet to follow were excluded. Samples were selected by the systematic method. Food security was measured using United States Department of Agriculture. Food Frequency Questionnaire, 21-items Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, and Socioeconomic Questionnaire were used to investigate the nutrients intake, depression/anxiety status, and socioeconomic factors, respectively. Chi-square, independent t-test, and logistic regression were used to analyze the data.
RESULTS: Based on the findings of the present
study, 16.8% of students experienced different levels of food insecurity, and 83.2% of participants were categorized as food secure. Gender, financial assistance, health insurance, depression, and students\' occupation are associated with food insecurity (P < .05). Additionally, the results of the logistic regression analysis showed that depression (OR 1.04; 95% CI 1.01-1.07), and students\' jobs (OR 0.43; 95% CI 0.23-0.80) have the greatest impact on students\' food insecurity.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the present
study show that economic factors and gender have a significant impact on students\' food security. Moreover, the association of food insecurity with mental disorders such as depression was demonstrated in the current
study. However, we could not detect any significant association between daily energy intake and macronutrients which indicates the requirement for more detailed studies.
