ABSTRACT This study aimed to analyze anemia in children from the Caribbean Region of Colombia. The prevalence of anemia by sociodemographic variables was estimated, and the Chi-square test was used to identify associations between sociodemographic variables and anemia. Also, overall anemia sociodemographic risk factors were identified using multivariable logistic regression. Results showed that there is a high probability of suffering anemia in younger children, children from the poorest families, and males. These findings indicate a need to address this problem from a multidisciplinary approach, prioritizing actions targeting the population groups at risk of anemia in early childhood.

ABSTRACT This survey (n = 1,356) reports food insecurity (FI) in Puerto Rico (PR) at 38% before, and 40% since, the COVID-19 pandemic. Odds for FI increased for households with annual income ≤$15k vs. ≥$60k (OR: 3.52; 95% CI: 1.20, 10.36); experiencing an income reduction (OR: 2.22 (1.55, 3.18)); participating in the United States Department of Agriculture Nutrition Assistance Program (OR: 1.75 (1.14, 2.70)); higher food acquisition anxiety (OR: 1.45 (1.29, 1.64)); increased home availability of fruit-flavored drinks (OR: 1.52 (1.04, 2.22)), whereas increased fruit availability was protective (OR: 0.63 (0.43, 0.93)). Results heighten the need to examine FI strategies in PR.

ABSTRACT We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate the association between household food insecurity (HFI) and prevalence of underweight, stunting, diarrhea and respiratory illness (RI) in school-age children in New Delhi, India. Mothers of 191 children aged 8–12 years were interviewed to collect HFI data using the Food Insecurity Experience Scale. Moderate-severe HFI was identified in 43.6% of the households. The odds for diarrhea, RI and stunting were increased by 4.7, 3.3 and 2.3 times respectively in food insecure children than food secure counterparts. HFI was not associated with underweight. There is an urgent need for effective strategies to mitigate HFI.

ABSTRACT The Banglatown area of Hamtramck, Michigan is home to Bangladeshi Americans (26% of the population) and has a 49.1% poverty rate. There are no supermarkets in Hamtramck; however, there are many small food stores. The NEMS-CS tool was used to assess 21 food stores. Of the stores surveyed, 33% of offered 3 or more fruits and vegetables. Thirty-six percent offered brown rice and almost half offered dried legumes. Stores scored poorly on all three categories included in the NEMS-CS score: availability, quality, price. Results of the study contribute to the knowledge base about healthy food availability in urban Bangladeshi communities.

ABSTRACT This study is a secondary assessment of data from a multi-state project called Voices for Food. The purpose was to determine facilitators and barriers to community stakeholders’ (n = 171) and food pantry clients’ (n = 612) engagement with food policy councils (FPCs) among rural Midwestern communities. Quantitative and qualitative data from surveys were examined across three data collection time points (baseline = 0, midpoint = 24, and post = 36 months). In addition to determining the sectors represented in council membership, barriers to and facilitators of participation in the council were identified. This information can be used to engage all types of community members in FPC work.

ABSTRACT Institutions such as hospitals and schools waste approximately seven to eleven billion pounds of food annually in the US. Food composting can be utilized to divert food waste from entering landfills. This study explored behaviors and perceptions of staff and management involved in a composting intervention at a local hospital through the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory. The importance of management involvement, organizational and institutional buy-in, proper education and training, and consistent follow-up were discussed. Different dimensions of compatibility, relative advantage, complexity, trialability, and observability of the composting intervention were identified by participants as contributing to the intervention implementation.

ABSTRACT To explore how older adults in rural communities navigate food insecurity, ten focus groups were held in Indiana, USA with 65 discussants. Recordings underwent inductive qualitative data analysis. Driving and transport remain a barrier to rural food access. Living alone is another contributor to food insecurity, while older adults’ social networks are protective. Congregate meal sites are critical to maintaining nutrition and are underfunded; one-third of this region’s meal sites closed in 2019. These must be maintained and expanded. Transportation to food outlets is needed. Mechanisms that reinforce older adults’ social networks can build upon an existing asset.
