“…In a study conducted on two Iranian ethnic groups, a different association was observed between food insecurity and weight status for Kurdish and Turkish ethnicity. Moderate and severe food insecurity increases the chance of obesity in Turkish while decreases general obesity in Kurdish people ( 44 ). Cheng et al ( 27 ) found that patients with diabetes suffering from food insecurity were more likely to be underweight.…”

Background: There is mixed evidence about food insecurity and overweight/obesity coexisting, however it is unclear about association between food insecurity and weight status in people with type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between food insecurity and weight status in individuals with type 2 diabetes in rural areas in Iran. Methods: 1847 patients with type 2 diabetes who were residence in rural areas completed Household Food Security Scale (six-item short questionnaire). Logistic regression model was applied to assess the independent effect of food insecurity on weight status. Results: Mean age of the study population was 62.6±11.8 years, and the majority of them were female (70.4%). Most of the study population (70.4%) had unhealthy weight status. Food insecurity affected more than 46% (n=852) of the households of the study population. According to weight status, more than 40% (n=565) of overweight and obese subjects and 60% (n=18) of underweight subjects lived in households with food insecurity. The results of multiple logistic regression model showed that food insecurity was not an independent significant predictor of overweight or obesity in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, low food security (LFS) was an independent significant predictor for underweight in patients with type 2 diabetes (OR=2.35, P=0.041). Conclusion: It is concluded that food insecurity was frequent in all levels of weight status of patients with type 2 diabetes in rural regions. However this association observed in underweight individuals but there was no significant overall relationship between household food insecurity and in overweight and obesity in this group of patients.

BACKGROUND This paper aims to assess different scenarios that reduce water use by following healthy diet recommendations. In this study, a food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the usual food intake of a sample of 723 individuals, aged 20–64 years, from Urmia, Iran. In order to calculate water use for production of food items, the water footprint method was applied. A linear programming technique was used to find a healthy diet with low blue water footprint in three scenarios. RESULTS The biggest decline in water use compared with real intake (57%) was found in scenario 1, where the model‐generated consider energy intake equal to usual energy intake. In scenario 2, in which the proportion of each food group was allowed to be in accordance with the Iranian food pyramid, the reduction in water use was less than for scenario 1 (47%). In scenario 3, where the Recommended Dietary Allowance values were also added to the set of model restrictions, the water usage was 51% of the real diet. CONCLUSION A healthy diet with greater proportion of energy from fruit and dairy instead of a diet with high proportion of energy from ‘meat–fish–poultry–eggs’ and ‘bread–cereal–rice–pasta’ can supply all Recommended Dietary Allowances while reducing water use. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

Food insecurity, socio-economic factors and weight status in two Iranian ethnic groups

Abstract: These findings show that the association between moderate-to-severe FI and risk of general/central obesity varies in Azeris, compared to Kurds. However, better SES decreased the chance of general/central obesity in both ethnic groups.
