Background and Aim: Food insecurity and poor quality of diet has found to be closely associated with adverse health outcomes including cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The main objective of this study was to assess whether food insecurity was associated with atherogenic glucose and lipid profile in women.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 630 women aged 18-50 years selected by cluster sampling and interviewed face-to-face. The household’s food security status was evaluated using a household food insecurity access scale (HFIAS) questionnaire, which its validity and reliability was determined in the Iranian population. The serum levels of glucose (FBS), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were measured and LDL/HDL, TC/HDL, and TG/HDL were calculated.
Results: The mean serum concentrations of TG and TG/HDL ratio were significantly higher in women suffering from moderate and severe food insecurity compared to food-secure women (p=0.002). Compared with the food secure group, women with moderate and severe food security were more likely to have hypertriglyceridemia (adjusted OR, 1.63; p=0.018) and a TG/HDL ratio (adjusted OR, 1.52; p=0.030). However, no significant associations were found between food security status and the probability of having the impaired fasting glucose, hypercholesterolemia, high LDL, low HDL, and abnormal ratios of LDL/HDL and TC/HDL.
Conclusion: Food insecurity may be associated with increased risk of CVD in women through its associations with dyslipidemia.
