We evaluated associations between food insecurity (FI) and the quality and quantity of sleep in adults (≥18 years).

Design

The current study represented a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.

Participants

Data from ten eligible observational studies, including 83 764 participants, were included.

Results
