Background:Food insecurity is associated with many poor health outcomes. Most contemporary liver disease is metabolic and impacted by nutritional status. Data regarding the association between food insecurity and chronic liver disease are limited. We evaluated the linkage between food insecurity and liver stiffness measurements (LSMs), a key measure of liver health.Methods:A cross-sectional analysis of 3502 subjects aged 20 years and older from the 2017 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Food security was measured using the US Department of Agriculture’s Core Food Security Module. Models were adjusted using age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, poverty-income ratio, smoking, physical activity, alcohol intake, sugary beverage intake, Healthy Eating Index-2015 score. All subjects underwent vibration-controlled transient elastography, which provides LSMs (kPa) and a measure of hepatic steatosis (controlled attenuation parameter, dB/m). LSM was stratified:< 7, 7 to 9.49, 9.5 to 12.49 (advanced fibrosis), and≥ 12.5 (cirrhosis) in the whole-study population and stratified by age (20 to 49 y and 50 y and older)Results:There were no significant differences in mean controlled attenuation parameter, alanine aminotransferase, or aspartate aminotransferase values by food security status. However, food insecurity was associated with a higher mean LSM (6.89±0.40 kPa vs. 5.77±0.14 kPa, P= 0.02) for adults 50 years and older. After multivariate adjustment, food insecurity was associated with higher LSMs across all risk stratifications for adults 50 years and older: LSM≥ 7 kPa [odds ratio (OR): 2.06, 95% CI, 1.06 to 4.02]; LSM≥ 9.5 kPa (OR: 2.50, 95% CI, 1.11 to 5.64); LSM≥ 12.5 kPa (OR: 3.07, 95% CI, 1.21 to 7.80).Conclusions:Food insecurity is associated with liver fibrosis and an increased risk of advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis in older adults.
