This study analyzes the length of time living with Food Insecurity (AI) and access to government programs, identifying the protection network for the human right to adequate food (DHAA) accessed by families in the Brazilian semi-arid region between 2011 and 2019. It is about a cohort in Cuité, Paraíba, with collections in 2011, 2014, and 2019. The time of coexistence with AI was analyzed with the classification into persistent food safety, one-time AI, two-time AI, and persistent AI, based on the definition of security and insecurity in the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale. Changes in access to 25 programs and the sociodemographic characteristics of families were verified using the Cochran Q test and Pearson's chi-square to verify the association between access and time spent living with AI. Note the coexistence of chronic AI, persistent sociodemographic vulnerability, and a diverse and little-accessed network of programs. Strengthening this network must aim at structural transformations through a socioeconomic development plan that promotes equal opportunities and articulates economy and social well-being.

Food insecurity and the spread of infectious disease are among the two major problems facing the world today especially in poor rural communities. Unfortunately, these two problems are related as many poor rural communities with food insecurity issues are also endemic to some food and waterborne diseases. A mathematical model that takes into consideration the major factors affecting food insecurity and disease is developed and used to analyse the problems.

Introduction: The prevalence of dysphagia has been increasing over the years, with some individuals at a greater risk. Social determinants of health (SDOH) can affect some individual's access to care and their health more than others. The objective of this study is to explore the role of SDOH on self-reported dysphagia in older adults (aged 65 years and older) living in the United States.

Socioeconomic, environmental and lifestyle factors shape kidney health. Among the social determinants of health, access to healthy foods is particularly significant. As a basic need, food is integral to an individual's identity, culture, and health.

Importance: Long COVID (ie, post-COVID-19 condition) is a substantial public health concern, and its association with health-related social needs, such as food insecurity, remains poorly understood. Identifying modifiable risk factors like food insecurity and interventions like food assistance programs is critical for reducing the health burden of long COVID.
Objective: To investigate the association of food insecurity with long COVID and to assess the modifying factors of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation and employment status.

Purpose: Food insecurity (FI) is a social determinant of health and health disparity that leads to increased risk of chronic health conditions. Despite the widespread implementation of FI screening in other settings, the role of the anesthesia team in FI screening is underused, increasing the chance of at-risk individuals not being identified. The anesthesia preoperative interview is an opportunity to identify patients experiencing FI and provide resources to improve outcomes.
