Our objectives were to (1) assess regional inequities in child food insufficiency during the second year of the pandemic between Deep South states (Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina) and non-Deep South states, and (2) examine the role of race/ethnicity and other factors in the observed differences. Data from Household Pulse Survey phases 3.1-3.2 (4/15-10/11/2021) on households with children (n=267,106) were used. The outcome was child food insufficiency, and the predictor was living in a Deep South state. Weighted crude and adjusted logistic regressions were run, adjusting for participants' race/ethnicity, age, gender, marital status, and educational attainment; number of children in the household; and household income-to-poverty ratio. Child food insufficiency prevalence was higher in Deep South (15.0%) versus non-Deep South states (11.6%). In crude models, the odds of child food insufficiency were 35% higher in Deep South, compared to non-Deep South states. With a model that adjusted for race/ethnicity, this dropped to 24% higher in Deep South states, and down to 13% higher in the fully adjusted model. Regional inequities in child food insufficiency were present in the second year of the pandemic but were not fully explained by race/ethnicity nor by other household demographic and socioeconomic factors. Assessing the contribution of state-level contexts and social policies to observed inequities may assist in explaining them and identifying appropriate solutions.</p>","PeriodicalId":16921,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities","volume":" ","pages":"480-488"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138487832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To identify genetic risk factors for GSD in Latino population living in the Southwest USA we used self-reported clinical history, physical and lab measurements data in Sangre Por Salud (SPS) cohort and identified participants with and without diagnosis of GSD. We performed a GWAS on this phenotype using GSD cases matched to normal controls based on a tight criterion. We identified several novel loci associated with GSD as well as loci that were previously identified in past GWAS studies. The top 3 loci (MATN2, GPRIN3, GPC6) were strongly associated with GSD phenotype in our combined analysis and a sex stratified analysis results in females were closest to the overall results reflecting a general higher disease prevalence in females. The top identified variants in MATN2, GPRIN3, and GPC6 remain unchanged after local ancestry adjustment in SPS Latino population.
