Food insecurity currently affects nearly 50 million people nationwide â most frequently, families with children. A recent Food Research & Action Center study revealed that as of April 2015, one in six households reported the inability to afford food.
Household food insecurity occurs disproportionately among children and families at high risk of obesity, making it difficult to determine causal effects. The lack of clear associations between food insecurity and childrenâs growth means that it is often invisible. Without asking specifically about food insecurity, providers are unlikely to recognize children and families who are food insecure. Pathways linking food insecurity and childrenâs health and well-being Household food insecurity has been hypothesized to operate through dual pathways: 1) a nutritional pathway, characterized by deficits in the quantity and quality of food and 2) a caregiver stress pathway, characterized by depression and anxiety related to the lack of food.
