Results revealed 46.8% of students as food insecure with statistically significant differences in race/ethnicity, GPA, and hours worked per week.

Analysis of differences in well-being indicators by food insecurity status revealed that students with any level of food insecurity were observed with statistically significantly higher mean scores for psychological distress, loneliness, and suicide behavior, with reduced scores for flourishing and resiliency as compared to their food secure counterparts.

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.","PeriodicalId":11511,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Food and Nutrition","volume":"60 5","pages":"596-611"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9632247/pdf/nihms-1844185.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39495583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As of August 2021, there were 214.8 million COVID-19 cases and nearly 4.5 million associated deaths (Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center 2021b). While some countries have made strides in containing the spread of the virus through quarantining, social distancing, and mandatory mask-wearing, many others have not. For example, there were 28 million cases and over 400,000 deaths in the U.S. at the end of January 2021 (Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center 2021a). As of August 2021, there are now 38 million confirmed cases and over 633,000 deaths in the U.S. (Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center 2021b). Although there are now vaccines to immunize millions, their rollout and availability have been problematic, even in countries with highly developed healthcare and public health systems. In the U.S. where the vaccine has been available since December 2020, only 52% of the population is fully immunized but this figure varies depending on the age group (e.g., older adults are more likely to be vaccinated) and where people live (e.g., higher rates of vaccination in the northeast). Vaccine hesitancy and skepticism have led to a lower vaccination rate of 108 doses per 100 people (Our World in Data 2021). Notwithstanding the speed of the development of these vaccines, the challenges of scaling up production on a global basis means that vaccine herd immunity will not happen any time soon (Weixal 2021). In an attempt to increase equity of access to COVID-19 vaccines, the WHO, Gavi, and CEPI have partnered to create COVAX, a public-private coalition of governmental organization and philanthropists dedicated to vaccine donation and price negotiation for lower-income countries (Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance 2021a). While some countries, such as Ghana, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo have only recently begun to receive COVAX-donated vaccine doses, wealthier and more populous nations","PeriodicalId":11511,"journal":{"name":"Ecology of Food and Nutrition","volume":"60 5","pages":"543-547"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39493009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Undernourished mothers are more likely to give birth to an offspring with impaired growth and development. Hence, investigating adolescents' undernutrition had a pivotal role to tackle the problem. Therefore, this study aimed to assess undernutrition and associated factors among adolescent girls in Mirabarmacho district, Ethiopia. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to April 20, 2018, in the Mirab Armachiho district, using the multistage cluster sampling method. A total of 706 adolescent girls was included in the study. The World Health Organization Anthro Plus software was used to calculate nutritional indices. A Binary Logistic Regression Analysis was used to check the effect of independent variables with adolescent wasting and stunting. The overall prevalence of wasting and stunting was 17.3% (95%CI: 14.6-20.1) and 10.3% (95%CI: 8.2-12.7), respectively.
