Data used in this cross-sectional study were collected between 1 June 2022 and 21 May 2023 using a self-reported method. Food insecurity was evaluated using the Greek version of Adult Food Security Survey Module. The data regarding socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics along with body weight and height measurements were collected through self-administered questionnaire. A representative sample of n=1255 adults, \u226518 years old living in the five different districts of the Republic of Cyprus, was recruited. Prevalence of food insecurity in Cypriot population was 12.6%. Prevalence was higher in females, in older adults, in adults living in Paphos, in individuals who were separated, divorced, or widowed, in retired people, in people living with children, and in people with low income and education. Based on multivariable analysis, income was the strongest socio-demographic factor independently associated with food security (\u20ac 6,500\u2013\u20ac 19,500: AOR: 0.49, 95% CI 0.28, 0.86 and &gt;\u20ac 19,500: AOR: 0.15, 95% CI 0.73, 0.31). Food insecurity is a global problem that need further examination. The association between food insecurity and socio-demographic characteristics needs to be highlighted in order for each country to develop specific public health policies (e.g. financial support to low income people) to decrease food insecurity and improve people\u2019s overall health and quality of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/jns.2024.47","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,19]],"date-time":"2024-09-19T06:04:17Z","timestamp":1726725857000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Food insecurity and its association with socio-demographic characteristics in Cyprus"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Maria","family":"Kantilafti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"European University Cyprus"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Yannakoulia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harokopio University Athens"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2185-561X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Giannakou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"European University Cyprus"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Kyprianidou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"European University Cyprus"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5296-8721","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stavri","family":"Chrysostomou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"European University Cyprus"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2048679024000478_ref27","first-page":"49","article-title":"Development validation of the Greek version of the adult food security survey module","volume":"14","author":"Michalis","year":"2021","journal-title":"Med J Nutr Metab."},{"key":"S2048679024000478_ref1","volume-title":"The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2001","year":"2002"},{"key":"S2048679024000478_ref2","volume-title":"Rome Declaration on World Food Security and World Food Summit Plan of Action Rome Declaration on World Food Security","author":"Summit","year":"1996"},{"key":"S2048679024000478_ref30","unstructured":"30.
