Food insecurity is a major public health concern in the United States. Adults with food insecurity face numerous challenges that contribute to having an increased risk of mortality and chronic disease. Little is known, however, about the cluster of chronic diseases and food insecurity. Metabolic syndrome, a cluster of factors marked by hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and abdominal obesity, effects over one third of Americans and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes. The risk of developing metabolic syndrome is significantly affected by lifestyle factors such as habitually following a healthy dietary pattern, which may be altered in the state of food insecurity. This proposed study seeks to examine the associations between food insecurity and metabolic syndrome, one less studied health outcome of food insecurity. Using data from the 2005-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), the proposed aims of this diversity supplement are to: 1) develop research skills to conduct secondary data analyses using NHANES, a nationally representative data set; and 2) examine the association between food insecurity and metabolic syndrome among US adults. The achievement of these aims will enhance research skills—biostatistics and manuscript development—necessary for a postdoctoral position and advance the scientific literature on food insecurity and health.

粮食不安全是美国的一个主要公共卫生问题。粮食无保障的成年人面临许多挑战，导致死亡和慢性病风险增加。 然而，人们对慢性病和粮食不安全问题知之甚少。代谢综合征是一组以高血压、血脂异常、胰岛素抵抗和腹部肥胖为标志的因素，影响超过三分之一的美国人，并增加心血管疾病和II型糖尿病的风险。发生代谢综合征的风险受到生活方式因素的显著影响，例如习惯性地遵循健康的饮食模式，这可能会在食品不安全的状态下改变。这项拟议的研究旨在研究食品不安全和代谢综合征之间的关联，这是一个较少研究的食品不安全的健康结果。使用2005-2016年国家健康和营养检查调查（NHANES）的数据，该多样性补充的拟议目标是：1）开发研究技能，使用NHANES进行二级数据分析，这是一个具有全国代表性的数据集; 2）检查美国成年人食品不安全与代谢综合征之间的关联。这些目标的实现将提高博士后职位所需的生物统计学和手稿开发的研究技能，并推动粮食不安全和健康的科学文献。
