目的粮食不安全(FI)是黎巴嫩的一个主要公共卫生问题，黎巴嫩是世界上难民人均集中度最高的中等收入小国，政治和经济挑战长期存在。本研究旨在测量家庭FI的患病率和社会人口学相关性，并探索家庭FI与儿童及其母亲的人体测量指标之间的关系。设计横断面调查(2014-2015)。设定黎巴嫩。参与者是具有全国代表性的有4-18岁儿童及其母亲的黎巴嫩家庭样本(第1204个)。结果用阿拉伯语翻译、验证的家庭食物不安全获取量表测量的FI患病率(95%CI)在研究样本中为49中心点3(44中心点0，54中心点6)%。7个中心点0(5个中心点5，9个中心点2)、23个中心点3(20个中心点1，26个中心点8)和18个中心点9(14个中心点9，23个中心点5)分别为轻度、中度和重度FI。多元回归分析显示，父母亲文化程度低、失业、拥挤是影响家庭FI的显著因素(P
Objective Food insecurity (FI) is a major public health problem in Lebanon, a small middle-income country with the highest refugee per capita concentration worldwide and prolonged political and economic challenges. The present study aimed to measure the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of household FI and to explore the association of household FI with anthropometric measures of children and their mothers. Design Cross-sectional survey (2014-2015). Setting Lebanon. Participants Nationally representative sample of Lebanese households with 4-18-year-old-children and their mothers (n 1204). Results FI prevalence (95 % CI), measured using the Arabic-translated, validated Household Food Insecurity Access Scale, was found to be 49 center dot 3 (44 center dot 0, 54 center dot 6) % in the study sample. Mild, moderate and severe FI were found in 7 center dot 0 (5 center dot 5, 9 center dot 2) %, 23 center dot 3 (20 center dot 1, 26 center dot 8) % and 18 center dot 9 (14 center dot 9, 23 center dot 5) % of households, respectively. Multiple regression analysis showed that low maternal and paternal education, unemployment and crowding were significant correlates of household FI (P
