Abstract

Background: Income-related food insecurity is an important determinant of health. This study aimed to provide an update on the food security status of Canadian households using the most recent available data from a health-oriented national-level survey. This study also examined trends in food insecurity since 2017, and how these have tracked with changes in price inflation.

Data and methods: Data on household food security status in the 10 Canadian provinces came from five annual cycles of the population-representative cross-sectional Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS): 2017, 2018, 2020 (September to December), 2021, and 2022. The Household Food Security Survey Module was used to categorize household food security status during the previous 12 months as food secure or marginally, moderately, or severely insecure.

Results: Before 2019, approximately 1 in 10 households had experienced some level of food insecurity in the previous 12 months (9.6% in 2017 and 11.6% in 2018). Household food insecurity prevalence was slightly lower and stable during the COVID-19 pandemic years (8.5% in fall 2020 and 9.1% in 2021) and increased to 15.6% in 2022. Levels of household food insecurity generally tracked with changes in consumer price inflation. Compared with 2021, there were notable increases in levels of moderate and severe food insecurity in 2022 among one-parent households with children, renters, and those reliant on government financial assistance.

Interpretation: The prevalence of household food insecurity in the CCHS was relatively stable from 2017 to 2021, increased in 2022, and generally tracked with changes in price inflation. Monitoring levels of household food insecurity will continue to be important as price inflation eases but the cost of living remains high.

2017 年至 2022 年加拿大社区健康调查显示的家庭粮食不安全趋势。
背景:与收入相关的粮食不安全是健康的一个重要决定因素。本研究旨在利用一项以健康为导向的国家级调查所提供的最新数据,介绍加拿大家庭粮食安全状况的最新情况。这项研究还考察了自2017年以来粮食不安全的趋势,以及这些趋势如何与价格通胀的变化保持一致:加拿大 10 个省的家庭食品安全状况数据来自具有人口代表性的加拿大社区健康横断面调查(CCHS)的五个年度周期:2017 年、2018 年、2020 年(9 月至 12 月)、2021 年和 2022 年。家庭粮食安全调查模块用于将过去 12 个月的家庭粮食安全状况分为粮食安全或略微、中度或严重不安全:在 2019 年之前,大约十分之一的家庭在过去 12 个月中经历过某种程度的粮食不安全(2017 年为 9.6%,2018 年为 11.6%)。在 COVID-19 大流行期间,家庭粮食不安全发生率略低并保持稳定(2020 年秋季为 8.5%,2021 年为 9.1%),2022 年增至 15.6%。家庭粮食不安全水平总体上与消费价格通胀率的变化保持一致。与 2021 年相比,2022 年有子女的单亲家庭、租房者和依靠政府财政援助的家庭的中度和重度粮食不安全程度明显上升:从 2017 年到 2021 年,CCHS 中家庭粮食不安全的普遍程度相对稳定,2022 年有所上升,并且总体上与价格通胀的变化相一致。随着物价通胀的缓解,但生活成本仍然居高不下,监测家庭粮食不安全程度将继续具有重要意义。
