Association between food insecurity and chronic noncommunicable diseases in Brazil: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To analyze the association of food insecurity (FI) with chronic noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the Brazilian context.

Methods

The review protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). The searches were conducted in LILACS and PubMed databases (September/2022). Observational studies carried out in the Brazilian population published since 2003 were included, in which: (1) the association of FI with NCDs was analyzed; and (2) the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale was used. Studies on pregnant women and those that associated FI with cancer, sexually transmitted infections, and musculoskeletal and respiratory diseases were excluded. The studies were subjected to methodological quality assessment.
