Abstract
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability globally. Self-management of cardiovascular disease includes the consumption of nutrient-dense foods and prudent dietary patterns, such as the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) and Mediterranean Diet to decrease inflammation and stress. Over the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in food insecurity and health outcomes in the United States. While it is well established that diet plays a role in the development of cardiovascular disease, there is little known regarding the role of food insecurity and cardiovascular disease. As a result of unprecedented unemployment rates during and following the global COVID-19 pandemic, all dimensions of food insecurity have been impacted, including declines in food availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability. This paper summarizes the existing quantitative and qualitative literature exploring the social determinants of health (economics/poverty, employment, limited access to health care, and food) that affect the self-management of cardiovascular disease, including healthy nutrition, highlighting special considerations during the COVID-19 global pandemic.
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.
