“…A meta-analysis of eight cross-sectional studies reported food insecurity v. security was associated with increased odds of sleep disorders, such as insomnia symptoms (34) . Another recent meta-analysis found severity of food insecurity levels to be associated with poorer sleep quality, including trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep and shorter sleep duration (35) .…”

Food insecurity, poised to increase with burgeoning concerns related to climate change, may influence sleep, yet few studies examined the food security-sleep association among racially/ethnically diverse populations with multiple sleep dimensions. We determined overall and racial/ethnic-specific associations between food security and sleep health. Using National Health Interview Survey data, we categorised food security as very low, low, marginal and high. Sleep duration was categorised as very short, short, recommended and long. Sleep disturbances included trouble falling/staying asleep, insomnia symptoms, waking up feeling unrested and using sleep medication (all ≥3 d/times in the previous week). Adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics and other confounders, we used Poisson regression with robust variance to estimate prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) for sleep dimensions by food security. Among 177 435 participants, the mean age of 47⋅2 ± 0⋅1 years, 52⋅0 % were women, and 68⋅4 % were non-Hispanic (NH)-White. A higher percent of NH-Black (7⋅9 %) and Hispanic/Latinx (5⋅1 %) lived in very low food security households than NH-White (3⋅1 %) participants. Very low v. high food security was associated with a higher prevalence of very short (PR = 2⋅61 [95 % CI 2⋅44–2⋅80]) sleep duration as well as trouble falling asleep (PR = 2⋅21 [95 % CI 2⋅12–2⋅30]). Very low v. high food security was associated with a higher prevalence of very short sleep duration among Asian (PR = 3⋅64 [95 % CI 2⋅67–4⋅97]) and NH-White (PR = 2⋅73 [95 % CI 2⋅50–2⋅99]) participants compared with NH-Black (PR = 2⋅03 [95 % CI 1⋅80–2⋅31]) and Hispanic/Latinx (PR = 2⋅65 [95 % CI 2⋅30–3⋅07]) participants. Food insecurity was associated with poorer sleep in a racially/ethnically diverse US sample.

“…FI represents a significant global burden, with the prevalence of moderate to severe FI increasing substantially from 22•7 % in 2016 to 29•3 % in 2021 (3) . FI represents a public health issue that is strongly associated with a range of adverse health outcomes, including poor sleep quality and quantity (4) , stress and anxiety (5) , self-reported high blood pressure (6) and cognitive problems (7) . Treating these conditions could impose a substantial and enduring economic burden on health systems (8) .…”

Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with food insecurity (FI) among Venezuelan migrants residing in Peru. Secondarily, to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES). Design: A cross-sectional study based on secondary data analysis of the 2022 Venezuelan Population Residing in Peru Survey (ENPOVE-2022, from the Spanish acronym) was conducted. FI was measured with the FIES, whose properties were tested using the Rasch model. Multinomial logistic regression was performed to estimate relative prevalence ratios with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Setting: This survey was conducted in February and March 2022 in the eight cities most populated by Venezuelan migrants and refugees in Peru. Participants: Venezuelan migrants and refugees over the age of 18 years living in Peru. Results: A total of 7,727 participants were included. Rasch reliability was adequate (0.73). The prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe FI was 36.71%, 31.14%, and 10.48%, respectively. Being aged 25–34 and 35–44, unemployed, uninsured, having no formal education or secondary, illegal status, living in a dwelling with 2–4 and more than 4 people, presenting one or more than one chronic disease, residing in Peru for 0–6 months, and perceived discrimination were associated with a higher probability of moderate FI. Furthermore, having secondary education, being unemployed, uninsured, never married, illegal, residing in Tumbes, presenting one or more than one chronic disease, and perceived discrimination were significantly associated with severe FI. Conclusion: Four out of 10 Venezuelan migrants residing in Peru presented moderate to severe FI. The FIES showed adequate psychometric properties. Differences in the sociodemographic, health, and migratory factors associated with FI levels were found. Inter-sectoral and multi-sectoral interventions are needed and should be focused on addressing the determinants of FI.

Chronic insufficient and poor-quality sleep are linked to hypertension, diabetes, depression, heart attack, and stroke. While studies on substance use and sleep typically focus on people in or entering treatment, there is a lack of research on sleep health among community-recruited people who inject drugs (PWID). To address this literature gap, we examined factors associated with insufficient and poor-quality sleep among community-recruited PWID. We recruited and interviewed 472 active opioid-using PWID (injected within the last 30 days) in Los Angeles, CA and Denver, CO between 2021 and 2022. Participants completed computer-assisted interviews covering demographics, subsistence measures, drug use patterns, injection-related behaviors, health risks, and sleep duration and quality in the last 3 months. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze all variables for subjects with complete responses to sleep items (n = 464). Bivariate analyses determined factors associated with sleep measures using chi-square and t-tests. Collinear variables were removed, and binomial linear multivariable regression calculated risk ratios (RR) for insufficient and poor-quality sleep in the last 3 months. Participants exhibited low sleep duration (mean = 4.99, standard deviation (SD) = 2.70), with 76% reporting insufficient sleep and 62% poor-quality sleep. Bivariate analyses associated both sleep measures with drug use, high subsistence scores, violent victimization, and poor health outcomes. Multivariable analyses showed a high subsistence score predicting insufficient (RR = 1.31) and poor-quality sleep (RR = 1.69) compared to low subsistence. Poor sleep health is common among structurally vulnerable community-recruited PWID, as measured by subsistence index associated with adverse sleep outcomes. Further research on structural interventions to address sleep and subsequent health outcomes among PWID is imperative.
