How is U.S. Food Insecurity Related to Dietary Quality? A Scoping Review to Inform Nutrition Security Across the Lifespan

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Objectives: The relationship between food security (FS) and dietary markers (DM) (e.g., dietary quality, nutrient adequacy and moderation components), across life stages remains incompletely understood, limiting the design of targeted interventions. This scoping review summarized evidence on the relationship between FS level and DM, informing the concept of nutrition security, across U.S. populations.
