PURPOSE: We sought to examine the association of food security and metabolic syndrome in a representative sample of U.S. adults and adolescents We hypothesized that compared with those in food-secure households, adolescents and adults living in food-insecure households would have increased odds of (MetS)METHODS: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 1999 to 2006 were combined and analyzed cross-sectionally Logistic regression was used to compute odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) in the association of household food security (fully food secure, marginal, low, and very low food security) and MetS.RESULTS: Compared with those who were food secure, adults in households with marginal food security had 1.80-fold increased odds of MetS (95% CI, 1 30-2.49), and those with very low food security had a 1.65-fold increased odds of MetS (95% CI 1 12-2 42) There was no association with low food security The association of marginal household food security and MetS was not significant: in adolescents In adults and adolescents, very low was food security not associated with increased odds of MetS compared with those who were food secureCONCLUSIONS: Members of households with marginal and very low food security are at increased risk of MetS A mechanism may be that foods that are inexpensive and easily accessible tend to be energy dense and nutrient poor Ann Epidemiol 2010, 20 364-370 (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc All rights reserved
