Reassessing the Burden of Food Insecurity in Youth and Young Adults With Youth-onset Diabetes: The Importance of Marginal Food Security.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Whereas marginal food insecurity (FI) has been recognized as important in Canadian food security policy, the category of marginal food security (MFS) is often ignored in US food security research.

Methods

Prevalence of FI was estimated according to the conventional and an alternate classification of MFS with FI among 938 youth and young adults (YYA) with youth-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) and 156 with youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D) from the SEARCH Food Security Cohort Study (2018-2021). Multivariable regression was used to estimate the association of MFS and conventionally defined FI ascertained with diabetes-related outcomes, including acute diabetes complications, health-care utilization, and diabetes self-management among YYA with T1D.
