عنوان انگلیسی Household Food Insecurity and Associated Factors among Iranian Patients with Esophageal and Gastric Cancers
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Background: Household food insecurity (HFI) which has still been one of the major global public health issues is related to adverse health outcomes in individuals. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of HFI and its associated factors in Iranian patients with esophageal and gastric cancers. Methods: The data of this cross-sectional study was obtained from 315 patients with esophageal and gastric cancers who were selected from a gastrointestinal cancer-based cohort study conducted in Firoozgar Hospital, in Tehran. Food insecurity (FI) was measured using the Iranian version of the HFI questionnaire that was completed by a trained interviewer. The multivariable logistic regression model was used to determine the independent association of each factor with HFI. A P value lower than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean±SD of participants’ age was 63.2±12.6 years and 65.4% were men. Most of the patients (75.8%) suffered from gastric cancer and 24.2% from esophageal cancer. The overall prevalence of FI among participants' households was 35.2%. There was an independent significant association between wealth index (WI) and HFI after the use of the multivariable logistic regression model, in such a way that the odds of FI in the poorest, poor, moderate, and rich patients’ households were respectively, 6.41, 5.05, 2.74 and 2.04 times higher compared with the richest households. Conclusion: More than a third of participants' households struggled with FI, which was found to have a higher prevalence in low-economic households. Therefore, health policymakers should intervene in food-insecure households by developing, establishing, and implementing strategies and control programs to improve affordable food access.
