“…In the current study, we found that more than half of subjects were living in marginal and moderate food insecure households (71.3%), which is in line with recent evidence that Middle-East and North Africa (Kamrava et al, 2012) is one of the most food insecure regions in the world. The figure is comparable with reports from the rest of Iran, which vary from 49% in North-East (Behzadifar et al, 2016) and 59% in the North-West (Sharafkhani et al, 2010) to 86% in the South (Kaldeh et al, 2010). However, as expected, the incidence of FI is much higher than the developed world; for example, FI is 10% in Canada (Tarasuk et al, 2014) and 14.3% in the US (Coleman-Jensen et al, 2014).…”

Household food insecurity (FI) is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon. Despite much debate on FI, during the past decades several unaccounted aspects that are assumed to affect the FI of women still remain. Reducing the FI requires understanding its determinants. During this cross-sectional study (Jun to May of 2017), 188 women (19 ~ 64 years of age) were recruited in Sardrood-Tabriz, North-East Iran using cluster, random, and systematic sampling methods. Outcomes included socio-demographics, body compositions, anthropometric incidences, degree of FI, and five-item healthy eating scores (HES-5). Food security was classified as follows: high, marginal, low, and very low (HFS, MFS, LFS, and VLFS, respectively). Based on multiple logistic regression scores, significant relationships were found between household food security status and occupation, education level of household supervisor, number of girls and boys in the family, the household income level, and HES-5 [odds ratios (OR)=2.92; P=0.02, OR=46.57; P=0.03, OR=2.43; P=0.02, OR=2.56; P=0.005, OR=3.84; P=0.009, and OR=1.67; P<0.001, respectively], after adjusting for other factors. Influences inversely affecting diet quality and anthropometric indices may contribute to poor health status in affected women.

“…First, our meta-analysis included only information from 2 national recallbased and several local perceptionbased studies. There were 2 studies in the north-west of the country (13,14) that were excluded due to lack of data on the different levels of food insecurity, as explained earlier. The perceptionbased studies included were conducted mainly in the central part of the Islamic Republic of Iran.…”

Using a systematic review of all available studies between 1991 and 2011, the prevalence of food insecurity in the Islamic Republic of Iran was estimated. After document evaluation and data aggregation, studies were analysed in separate categories based on the methods used: dietary recall, household income/expenditure or experiential/ perception-based surveys. Meta-analysis of dietary-recall studies showed small non-significant increases between 1994 and 2004 in the prevalence of mild (from 8.8% to 9.3%) and moderate food insecurity (from 5.4% to 5.6%). Severe food insecurity was 3.8% and 3.7% in 1994 and 2004 respectively. Prevalence of food insecurity (moderate to severe) based on household income/expenditure surveys was consistently reported to be 10%. A separate meta-analysis of experiential/perception-based studies revealed rates of mild, moderate and severe food insecurity of 28.6%, 14.9% and 6.0% respectively. By combining study results in this manner makes it possible to come up with more realistic estimates for evidence-informed policy-making, until development of a national food insecurity surveillance system. Une méta-analyse distincte des études fondées sur l'expérience/la perception a révélé des pourcentages d'insécurité alimentaire légère, modérée et sévère de 28,6 %, 14,9 % et 6,0 %, respectivement. En associant les résultats d'étude de cette façon, il est possible de parvenir à des estimations plus réalistes pour alimenter des politiques fondées sur des preuves, en attendant d'avoir mis en place un système de surveillance de l'insécurité alimentaire au niveau national. ‫املتوسط‬ ‫لرشق‬ ‫الصحية‬ ‫املجلة‬ ‫العرشون‬ ‫املجلد‬ ‫عرش‬ ‫احلادي‬ ‫العدد‬ 699

“…The family member is mostly more than 4 (67.6% in BED adolescents and 70.3% in non-BED adolescents). Sharafkhani et al (2010) revealed that food insecure household conditions were not related to the number of children. However, the presence of toddlers and elderly among family members can increase the risk of food insecurity.…”

Teenage phase is a critical period of psychosocial development. Adolescent eating patterns are formed in this phase. Household food security is among factors which may infl uence eating pattern. Adolescent who are exposed to food insecure condition tend to experience stress, which one of the coping mechanisms is overeating and may develop binge eating disorder. The purpose of this study is to analyze association between household food security status and binge eating disorder in adolescent. This case control study involved 74 adolescents aged 16-18 years and their parents in Semampir District, Surabaya, Indonesia who were selected randomly using simple random sampling. Household food security was assessed by using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) and binge eating disorder is assessed by using Eating Disorder Diagnostic Scale (EDDS). The association between household food security and binge eating disorder was analyzed by Spearman’s correlation test. There was an association between food security status (p = 0,001) and binge eating disorder. Further analysis showed that adolescents at risk of food insecurity were 5,625 times more likely to experience a binge eating disorder. This study recommends to increase food security through economic empowerment of housewives and socialization about coping strategy for both parent and adolescent.
