Abstract

Many youth in Manitoba are not food secure. Newcomer youth may be more vulnerable to food insecurity. Further, it has been suggested that being food secure does not ensure a nutritionally adequate diet. This study examined survey data from 1,347 grade nine students to describe and compare food security by newcomer status. Survey data were also used to compare the dietary intakes, eating behaviors, and self-reported health of newcomer youth by food security status. Food security status between newcomer and non-newcomer youth was not significantly different, however, being food secure was not enough to have optimal nutritional health and well-being.

食物不安全、营养不安全和马尼托巴省新移民青年自我报告的健康:一项横断面研究。

马尼托巴省的许多年轻人没有食物保障。新移民青年可能更容易受到粮食不安全的影响。此外，有人认为，粮食安全并不能确保营养充足的饮食。本研究以1347名九年级学生为调查对象，探讨新移民身分对食物安全的影响。调查数据也被用来比较食物安全状况下新移民青年的饮食摄入量、饮食行为和自我报告的健康状况。然而，新移民和非新移民青年的粮食安全状况没有显著差异，粮食安全并不足以获得最佳的营养健康和福祉。

期刊介绍： Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
