Abstract

Background: Nutrition security encompasses stable and equitable access, availability, affordability, and utilization of healthy foods.

Aim: To evaluate the relationship of two newly created dichotomous measures that represent aspects of nutrition security (i.e., perceived limited availability and healthfulness choice) with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation.

Methods: Logistic regression models were run for each outcome separately with adjustment for age, income-to-poverty ratio, gender, education, race, and food security.

Results: Adults using social services (e.g., food pantries) were enrolled (N = 402) in this cross-sectional analysis. SNAP participants (61.7%) were not different from non-SNAP participants in perceiving limited availability (aOR [95% CI]: 1.21 [0.75, 1.95]) or limited ability to choose (aOR [95% CI]: 0.69 [0.43, 1.12]) healthy foods.

Conclusions: Both SNAP and non-SNAP participants with low socioeconomic status report limited availability of healthy foods in their environment and a limited ability to choose healthy foods.

参加补充营养援助计划与认为健康食品的供应和选择有限之间的关系。

背景：营养安全包括稳定和公平地获取、提供、负担和利用健康食品。目的：评估代表营养安全各个方面的两个新创建的二分法衡量标准（即感知到的有限可用性和健康选择）与参与补充营养援助计划（SNAP）之间的关系：对每个结果分别运行逻辑回归模型，并对年龄、收入与贫困比率、性别、教育程度、种族和食品安全进行调整：使用社会服务（如食品储藏室）的成年人（N = 402）参加了此次横截面分析。SNAP 参与者（61.7%）与非 SNAP 参与者在认为健康食品供应有限（aOR [95% CI]：1.21 [0.75, 1.95]）或选择能力有限（aOR [95% CI]：0.69 [0.43, 1.12]）方面没有差异：结论：社会经济地位较低的 SNAP 和非 SNAP 参与者都表示，他们所处环境中的健康食品供应有限，选择健康食品的能力有限。
