Resumen
AVILA-ARCOS, Marco Antonio et al. Food insecurity and associated factors in Mexican households with Covid-19 cases. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2021, vol.63, n.6, pp.751-762. Epub 27-Feb-2023. ISSN 0036-3634. https://doi.org/10.21149/13026.
Objective:
To analyze the association between the presence of anti SARS-CoV-2 antibodies and other household characteristics and the food insecurity in a national sample of Mexican households.
Materials and methods:
Information at household level about food security (FS), sociodemographic factors, changes in family economy and food consumption was obtained in a national and representative sample. The relation between food insecurity (FI) and household characteristics was established through ordinal logistic regression, multinomial regression models were used to study the self-reported changes in food consumption and FI in the presence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in at least one inhabitant of the household.
Results:
Households with seropositive cases shown a lower meat consumption. In those households which suffered an income reduction and had at least one individual positive for anti SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, the FI -in its higher levels- worsened (OR=1.225; CI95%: 1.04, 1.44).
Conclusions:
The food insecurity in households during pandemic worsened due to many factors, in this sense integral actions of public policies are required.
