The goal of this study was to look at the impact of income, as well as the combined effects of low income and food insecurity, on a variety of dietary parameters in a sample of Bangladeshi youth. Methods The diets of 8,938 youth aged 9–18 years were studied using a nationally representative population-based sample. Dietary data were collected using a single 24-hour recall. Anthropometric measures were available for 71% of the population, and interviews were conducted in person. The variance estimates were calculated. The connections between anthropometric measurements, food and nutrient intakes, and low-income and low-income food insecurity were investigated using generalized linear models. Results The height percentiles of children from low-income families were lower than those of children from higher-income families. Low-income girls were more likely than their higher-income p...

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of household food insecurity and its influencing factors among low-income people in Bangladesh during the lockdown of COVID-19. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted through face-to-face interviews from 500 low-income households during the countrywide COVID-19 lockdown. A pretested, structured and validated questionnaire was used to collect socioeconomic characteristics, household income conditions, and food accessibility. Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) and Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) were used to measure food insecurity. Multinomial logistic regression models were estimated to evaluate and predict risk factors that influence food insecurity. Results The study found that above 67% of households was mild-to-moderate food insecure while 23% experienced severe food insecurity....
