Abstract

The Expanded Food Security Screener (FSS-Exp) determines food insecurity risk based on physical, economic, and social access to food. It categorizes individuals into 5 priorities based on need for a home-delivered meal. Concurrent and construct validity were applied to the tool. For concurrent validity, partial correlations between FSS-Exp and health- and food-related measures were significant and ranged between 0.20 and 0.33. For construct validity, analysis of variance was used to examine scores of the health- and food-related tools by priority level. The 2 highest priority levels had significantly lower mean scores for all the health variables except for dietary intake. The FSS-Exp tool effectively identifies those most in need of meal services.

测试优先排序工具，识别需要家庭送餐和营养相关服务的老年人

扩大的食品安全筛查（FSS-Exp）根据实际、经济和社会获得食品的情况来确定食品不安全的风险。它根据对送餐上门服务的需求，将个人分为 5 个优先级。该工具采用了并发效度和结构效度。在并发效度方面，FSS-Exp 与健康和食物相关测量之间的部分相关性显著，介于 0.20 和 0.33 之间。在结构效度方面，采用了方差分析方法，按优先级别对健康和食品相关工具的得分进行检查。除膳食摄入量外，两个最高优先级别的所有健康变量的平均得分都明显较低。FSS-Exp 工具能有效识别最需要膳食服务的人群。
