很少有研究涉及粮食不安全与居住地和集体社会功能的看法，如社会资本和个人差异的看法。本研究评估了美国得克萨斯州中部一个城市和六个农村县的粮食不安全和个人差异和社会资本之间的关联。粮食不安全，感知社会资本，感知个人差距，社会人口控制措施来自2006年巴西山谷社区健康评估的分析样本1803成人参与者（74%的响应率）。稳健的多项回归模型研究了粮食不安全与感知的个人差异、感知的社会资本、教育、年龄、居住在贫困或低收入家庭、少数群体成员身份和农村居住之间的关联。估计了粮食不安全的模型（n = 1803，p < 0.0001）。社会资本低、个人差异感较高、居住在农村、居住在低收入或贫困家庭、少数群体成员和教育程度较低的居民更有可能经历粮食不安全。农村居住（p = 0.021）是显着的，只有那些谁从来没有，和那些谁经常经历粮食不安全的比较，分层农村和城市样本的结果大致相当于合并样本。个人一级对集体社会功能的衡量是粮食不安全的重要相关因素。在本研究中，无论居住在农村还是城市，感知的个人差异和感知的社会资本都起着重要的作用。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Few studies have addressed the association of food insecurity with place of residence and perceptions of collective social functioning such as perceived social capital and perceived personal disparity. This study assessed the association between food insecurity and measures of perceived personal disparity and perceived social capital in a region of Central Texas, USA comprised of one urban and six rural counties. Food insecurity, perceived social capital, perceived personal disparity, and sociodemographic control measures were derived from the 2006 Brazos Valley Community Health Assessment on an analytic sample of 1803 adult participants (74% response rate). Robust multinomial regression models examined associations between food insecurity and perceived personal disparity, perceived social capital, education, age, residence in a poor or low-income household, minority group membership, and rural residence. A model was estimated for food insecurity (n = 1803, p < 0.0001). Residents with low social capital, higher levels of perceived personal disparity, rural residence, residence in a low-income or poor household, minority group membership, and lower levels of educational attainment were more likely to experience food insecurity. Rural residence (p = 0.021) was significant only for the comparison between those who never, and those who often experienced food insecurity, and findings for the stratified rural and urban samples were roughly equivalent to the combined sample. Individual level measures of collective social functioning are important correlates of food insecurity. In this study, both perceived personal disparity and perceived social capital play an important role, regardless of rural or urban residence. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
