Note

Because cultural conventions differ as to which elements are grouped as front matter and which as back matter, the content models for the front and back elements are identical.

      <head> BACKGROUND:</head>
      <p>Food insecurity can put children at greater risk of obesity because
of altered food choices and nonuniform consumption patterns.</p>
    </div>
    <div xml:id="DS-objective">
      <head> OBJECTIVE:</head>
      <p>We examined the association between obesity and both child-level
food insecurity and personal food insecurity in US children.</p>
    </div>
    <div xml:id="DS-design">
      <head> DESIGN:</head>
      <p>Data from 9,701 participants in the National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey, 2001-2010, aged 2 to 11 years were analyzed.
Child-level food insecurity was assessed with the US Department of
Agriculture's Food Security Survey Module based on eight
child-specific questions. Personal food insecurity was assessed with
five additional questions. Obesity was defined, using physical
measurements, as body mass index (calculated as kg/m2) greater than
or equal to the age- and sex-specific 95th percentile of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention growth charts. Logistic
regressions adjusted for sex, race/ethnic group, poverty level, and
survey year were conducted to describe associations between obesity
and food insecurity.</p>
    </div>
    <div xml:id="DS-results">
      <head> RESULTS:</head>
      <p>Obesity was significantly associated with personal food insecurity
for children aged 6 to 11 years (odds ratio=1.81; 95% CI 1.33 to
2.48), but not in children aged 2 to 5 years (odds ratio=0.88; 95%
CI 0.51 to 1.51). Child-level food insecurity was not associated
with obesity among 2- to 5-year-olds or 6- to 11-year-olds.</p>
    </div>
    <div xml:id="DS-conclusions">
      <head> CONCLUSIONS:</head>
      <p>Personal food insecurity is associated with an increased risk of
obesity only in children aged 6 to 11 years. Personal
food-insecurity measures may give different results than aggregate
food-insecurity measures in children.</p>
