Title A name given to the resource Household food insecurity associated with stunting and underweight among preschool children in Antioquia, Colombia Inseguridad alimentaria en los hogares asociada con el retraso del crecimiento y el bajo peso en niños preescolares de Antioquia, Colombia Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Hugo Melgar-Quiñonez, Michelle Hackett, Martha Cecilia Álvarez Description An account of the resource OBJECTIVE: To assess criterion validity of a household food security scale through its associations with child health status in participants of the Colombian Plan for Improving Food and Nutrition in Antioquia (Mejoramiento Alimentario y Nutricional de Antioquia (MANA)). METHODS: A 12-item household food security survey (Colombian Household Food Security Scale, CHFSS) was applied to a cross-sectional stratified random sample of 2 784 low-income households with preschool children receiving MANA food supplements in Antioquia, Colombia. Anthropometrics and health status of the children were also assessed. Chi-square tests were used to initially compare child health status and household food security status. Logistic regression models were further developed to assess this relationship in bivariate and multiple regression models. RESULTS: Statistically significant associations were found between household food insecurity and diagnoses of children's diarrhea, respiratory infections, and parasitosis (P < 0.0001). The risk for child stunting and underweight increased in a dose-response way as food insecurity became more severe. CONCLUSIONS: Our research establishes an important link between household food insecurity and child nutritional status in participants of a food assistance program. The results affirm the criterion validity of the CHFSS, establishing the proposed instrument as a valid measure for food insecurity with high-risk populations.OBJETIVO: Evaluar la validez de una escala de seguridad alimentaria en hogares mediante su asociación con el estado de salud de niños participantes en el plan colombiano Mejoramiento Alimentario y Nutricional de Antioquia (MANA). MÉTODOS: Se aplicó una encuesta de seguridad alimentaria en hogares (CHFSS), compuesta por 12 preguntas, a una muestra transversal estratificada y aleatoria de 2 784 hogares de bajos ingresos con niños preescolares que recibían suplementos alimenticios del programa MANA en Antioquia, Colombia. Se evaluó el estado de salud y antropométrico de los niños. Se comparó el estado de salud de los niños y de seguridad alimentaria de los hogares mediante la prueba de la ji al cuadrado. Se elaboraron modelos de regresión logística para evaluar esa relación mediante regresiones bifactoriales y multifactoriales. RESULTADOS: Se encontraron asociaciones estadísticamente significativas entre la inseguridad alimentaria de los hogares y el diagnóstico de diarrea, infecciones respiratorias y parasitosis en los niños (P < 0,0001). El riesgo de retraso del crecimiento y bajo peso en los niños se incrementó según una relación dosis-respuesta a medida que se agravaba la inseguridad alimentaria. CONCLUSIONES: Se estableció un vínculo importante entre la inseguridad alimentaria de los hogares y el estado nutricional de los niños participantes en un programa de asistencia alimentaria. Estos resultados confirman la validez del CHFSS, por lo que este instrumento es válido para evaluar la inseguridad alimentaria en poblaciones en alto riesgo.
