Abstract

Objective: Little is known about food insecurity in Asian Americans (AA). We examined age/ethnic subgroup differences in food insecurity among AA in California.

Design: We examined associations between food insecurity and socio-demographic characteristics among AA (Chinese, Filipino, Korean, and Vietnamese) using the χ2 test. Rolling averages were calculated to examine food insecurity trends.

Setting: California.

Participants: We used data from the California Health Interview Survey (2011-2018) for AA categorised by age (18-39, 40-59 and 60+ years).

Results: Food insecurity prevalence varied by subgroup, with the highest observed in older adult (aged 60+ years) Vietnamese (26 %). Between 2011-2014 and 2015-2018, food insecurity prevalence increased 20-45 % across older adults, but showed a decreasing trend among younger adults. Being foreign born and speaking a language other than English at home were associated with increased food insecurity.

Conclusions: Community-engaged research to develop culturally appropriate strategies for mitigating food insecurity among older AA is warranted.

老年亚裔美国人的食物不安全:有关趋势。
目的:亚裔美国人(AAs)的食品不安全状况鲜为人知。我们研究了加州aa在食品不安全方面的年龄/种族亚组差异。设计:我们使用卡方检验检验了食品不安全与AAs(中国人、菲律宾人、韩国人、越南人)社会人口特征之间的关系。计算滚动平均值是为了检验粮食不安全趋势。设置:加州。参与者:我们使用来自加州健康访谈调查(2011-2018)的数据,按年龄(18-39岁、40-59岁、60岁以上)分类。结果:粮食不安全患病率因亚组而异,在越南老年人(60岁以上)中观察到的最高(26%)。2011-14年至2015-18年期间,老年人的粮食不安全发生率增加了20-45%,但在年轻人中呈下降趋势。出生在外国,在家说英语以外的语言与粮食不安全增加有关。结论:有必要开展社区参与的研究,制定文化上适当的策略,以减轻老年居民的粮食不安全。
