Abstract

ABSTRACT This survey (n = 1,356) reports food insecurity (FI) in Puerto Rico (PR) at 38% before, and 40% since, the COVID-19 pandemic. Odds for FI increased for households with annual income ≤$15k vs. ≥$60k (OR: 3.52; 95% CI: 1.20, 10.36); experiencing an income reduction (OR: 2.22 (1.55, 3.18)); participating in the United States Department of Agriculture Nutrition Assistance Program (OR: 1.75 (1.14, 2.70)); higher food acquisition anxiety (OR: 1.45 (1.29, 1.64)); increased home availability of fruit-flavored drinks (OR: 1.52 (1.04, 2.22)), whereas increased fruit availability was protective (OR: 0.63 (0.43, 0.93)). Results heighten the need to examine FI strategies in PR.

2019冠状病毒病疫情对波多黎各粮食不安全的影响

这项调查(n = 1356)报告了波多黎各(PR)的粮食不安全(FI)在2019冠状病毒病大流行之前为38%，之后为40%。年收入≤1.5万美元与≥6万美元的家庭患FI的几率增加(OR: 3.52;95% ci: 1.20, 10.36);收入减少(OR: 2.22 (1.55, 3.18));参加美国农业部营养援助计划(OR: 1.75 (1.14, 2.70));较高的食物获取焦虑(OR: 1.45 (1.29, 1.64));增加水果味饮料的家庭供应(OR: 1.52(1.04, 2.22))，而增加水果供应具有保护作用(OR: 0.63(0.43, 0.93))。结果强调了在PR中检查FI策略的必要性。
