Loopstra R, et al. – In this population-based study involving UK adults, researchers assessed the extent and severity of the growing problem of food insecurity in the via analysis of the 2016 Food and You survey. They also looked at features related to the severity of food insecurity, and focused on the changes in vulnerability among low-income households by comparing 2016 data with that of the 2004 Low Income Diet and Nutrition Survey. In 2016, food insecurity was experienced by 20.7% of adults, and severely food-insecure adults comprised 2.72%. In the UK, economically deprived groups were influenced by food insecurity. Features particularly related to severe food insecurity included unemployment, disability, and low income. Since 2004, worsening of vulnerability to food insecurity has been reported among low-income adults, especially among those with disabilities.
