“…Disability has been consistently related to an increase in HFI in previous studies [ 9 , 15 , 17 , 20 ]. Stronger associations between disability and HFI have generally been observed for young and middle-aged adults with disabilities compared to for older adults or children with disabilities [ 15 ], and female disability has been shown to have a greater effect on HFI than male disability [ 32 , 33 ].…”

“…Although previous studies have assessed food insecurity according to geographic and sociodemographic characteristics, few have compared HFI between households with and without PWDs or identified factors associated with HFI in households with PWDs [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. To the best of our knowledge, this examination is the first of its kind to be conducted in a representative sample of Koreans.…”

“…PWDs are faced with challenges and difficulties in many area of their lives, including access to legal and social services, social opportunities, health, education, employment, and personal development [ 13 ]. Moreover, PWDs are more likely to experience food insecurity [ 14 , 15 ].…”

“…Several studies reported that the prevalence of HFI among households with PWDs was well above that for the general population [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Similarly, food-insecure households were more likely than food-secure households to include someone with a disability [ 9 , 18 ].…”

“…However, despite food insecurity being a particular concern among PWDs, data on the food security status of households with PWDs in most countries, except in some high-income Western countries, remain insufficient [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms by which disabilities affect food security are not fully understood [ 17 ] because very few attempts have been made to understand the social, economic, and health disparities experienced by PWDs; even survey data addressing their food and nutrition intake are lacking.…”

Although the high rate of food insecurity among people with disabilities and their households has emerged as an important concern in public health and nutrition policy, the available data on these issues are still too limited to fully understand this phenomenon. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of food insecurity between households with and without persons with disabilities and to explore which sociodemographic and disability characteristics are associated with household food insecurity among households with members with disabilities. The data of 2690 households with and without members with disabilities from the 2013 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed. Household food insecurity was more prevalent among households including persons with disabilities than among those without such members. The likelihood of experiencing food insecurity was especially high in households having a female head with a disability (odds ratio (OR) = 1.98); working-age adults with disabilities (OR = 1.70); members with disabilities who were not economically active (OR = 1.53); and members with mental disabilities (OR = 2.81), disabilities involving internal organs (OR = 4.38), or severe (grades 1–3) disabilities (OR = 1.73). The findings indicate that the disability status and sociodemographic characteristics of disabled family members are closely associated with household food security status.

The dynamic nature of poverty and food insecurity among older adults: Evidence from the Health and Retirement Study

Using data from the Health and Retirement Study, this paper examines the dynamics of food insecurity for older adults over the past two decades and how it relates to different poverty measures. The results show that the Supplemental Poverty Measure predicts the likelihood of food insecurity better than the official poverty measure. Although there is no evidence that the impact of poverty on food insecurity declines with age, we find that the discrepancy between food insecurity and poverty is greater for more recent cohorts. Beyond poverty, various demographic, economic, and health characteristics also determine food insecurity among older adults.

People with disabilities are at increased risk of food insecurity (FI). In the United States, the Current Population Survey is used to provide official FI estimates.Other federal surveys that include disability and FI measures as well as additional health, housing, nutrition, and functioning measures offer opportunities to examine determinants of FI more fully for people with disabilities. We estimate FI prevalence for people with disabilities across four surveys, finding that all sources identify disability as a risk factor for FI, with some variation in estimates. We identify policy-specific areas each source could inform and suggest avenues for future research.
