| Abstract (English): | Objective: To determine the levels of household food insecurity in children from 0 to 59 months old in Colombia and their associated sociodemographic factors. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out, in terms of a secondary analysis of the National Survey of the Nutritional Situation in Colombia from 2015, a total of 12 894 young children between 0 and 59 months old were evaluated using the Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale; Sociodemographic and economic characteristics were evaluated; the food insecurity was examined by each of the sociode- mographic variables; Poisson regression multivariate models were used to estimate associ- ations. Results: The average age was 29,6 months, and 48,8 % were girls; the results indicated that 59,9 % of children lived in households with some degree of food insecurity (severe: 8,8 %, moderate: 13,8 %, and mild: 37,3 %); it was found that the children whose parents had an educational level before elementary school and those belonging to quartile 1 of wealth were most associated with having food insecurity in their households. Conclusions: Overall, the proportion of children residing in households with some degree of food insecurity in Colombia is high. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Objetivo: Determinar los niveles de inseguridad alimentaria del hogar en niños de 0 a 59 meses en Colombia y sus factores sociodemográficos asociados. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio analítico transversal, en términos de un análisis secundario de la Encuesta Nacional del Situación Nutricional en Colombia desde 2015; se evaluó un total de 12 894 niños pequeños entre 0 y 59 meses mediante la Escala de Seguridad Alimentaria de América Latina y el Caribe; se evaluaron características socio-demográficas y económicas; la inseguridad alimentaria fue examinada por cada una de las variables sociodemográficas; se utilizaron modelos multivariados de regresión de Poisson para estimar las asociaciones. Resultados: La edad promedio fue de 29,6 meses y el 48,8 % eran niñas; los resultados indicaron que el 59,9 % de los niños vivían en hogares con algún grado de inseguridad alimentaria (severa: 8,8 %, moderada: 13,8 %, y leve: 37,3 %); se encontró que los hijos cuyos padres tenían un nivel educativo anterior a la primaria y los pertenecientes al cuartil 1 de riqueza estaban más asociados con tener inseguridad alimentaria en sus hogares. Conclusiones: En general, la proporción de niños que residen en hogares con algún grado de inseguridad alimentaria en Colombia es alta. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
