description | Food insecurity is a public health concern with pervasive effects on numerous human biological factors. In addition to physical problems, food insecurity may have adverse social and psychological impacts. The present study aimed to determine the correlations between household food insecurity and stress, anxiety, and depression in mothers living in Mashhad, Iran. In this cross-sectional study we recruited 312 mothers. We collected data on the food insecurity status of households using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) and used the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) to assess the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression in the subjects. The prevalence rate of food insecurity was 51.9%, and the prevalence rate of stress, anxiety, and depression was 70.2%, 70.2%, and 55.1%, respectively. In the food-insecure group, 94.3% of the mothers had stress, 91.4% had anxiety, and 87.1% had depression. While in the food-secure group, 60.7%, 61.3%, and 37.3% of the mothers had stressed, anxiety, and depression, respectively. In all the analytical models, food insecurity was significantly and positively associated with stress, anxiety, and depression (P < 0.001). Our results suggested that a higher level of food insecurity correlates with extreme degrees of stress, anxiety, and depression. Therefore, the improvement of mothers' mental health in terms of stress, anxiety, and depression depends on the improvement of household food insecurity. |
