目标.我们调查了家庭粮食不安全的风险，并报告了公平或健康状况不佳的非常年轻的儿童谁是美国公民，其母亲是移民相比，那些母亲出生在美国。数据来自19275名母亲（其中7216人是移民），他们在1998年至2005年期间在医院接受了采访，作为儿童哨兵营养评估计划的一部分。我们研究了食品不安全是否介导了移民身份和儿童健康之间的关联，与在美国停留的时间有关。新移民子女的健康状况一般或较差的风险高于美国出生母亲的子女（比值比[OR]=1.26; 95%置信区间[CI]=1.02，1.55; P
Objectives. We investigated the risk of household food insecurity and reported fair or poor health among very young children who were US citizens and whose mothers were immigrants compared with those whose mothers had been born in the United States.Methods. Data were obtained from 19275 mothers (7216 of whom were immigrants) who were interviewed in hospital-based settings between 1998 and 2005 as part of the Children's Sentinel Nutrition Assessment Program. We examined whether food insecurity mediated the association between immigrant status and child health in relation to length of stay in the United States.Results. The risk of fair or poor health was higher among children of recent immigrants than among children of US-born mothers (odds ratio [OR]=1.26; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.02, 1.55; P
