Group-based trajectory modelling was used to assess patterns of food insecurity status over time. Multinomial logistic regression assessed the relationship between prior incarceration and food insecurity trajectory group membership.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three food insecurity trajectory groups were identified: no food insecurity (86.2%), declining food insecurity (11.0%) and chronic food insecurity (2.8%). Results from the multinomial logistic regression demonstrated that a history of incarceration was significantly associated with a higher likelihood of membership in the Declining Food Insecurity (relative risk ratio (RRR)=1.80, 95%\u2009CI 1.24 to 2.60) and Chronic Food Insecurity groups (RRR=2.14, 95%\u2009CI 1.35 to 3.39), relative to No Food Insecurity group after adjusting for covariates. However, after controlling for household income and wealth, this association was attenuated and remained statistically significant only for the Declining Food Insecurity group (RRR=1.59, 95%\u2009CI 1.06 to 2.37).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A history of incarceration is associated with a greater risk of food insecurity across older adulthood, though this relationship appears to be largely due to disparities in socioeconomic status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/jech-2025-224343","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,24]],"date-time":"2025-07-24T17:20:27Z","timestamp":1753377627000},"page":"907-912","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Prior incarceration and food insecurity trajectories through older adulthood: findings from the Health and Retirement Study"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"79","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8686-9115","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander","family":"Testa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, Department of Management, Policy, and Community Health, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, Texas, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis","family":"Mijares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, Department of Management, Policy, and Community Health, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, Texas, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karyn","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rice University, Houston, Texas, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ava","family":"Yoder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rice University, Houston, Texas, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Louisa","family":"Holaday","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Division of General Internal Medicine, New York, New York, USA"},{"name":"Institute for Health Equity Research, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carmen","family":"Gutierrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Policy, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dylan B","family":"Jackson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryalnd, USA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyle T","family":"Ganson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason M","family":"Nagata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daphne C","family":"Hernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cizik School of Nursing, Department of Research, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, Texas, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025111002150784000_79.12.907.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3945\/an.112.003244"},{"key":"2025111002150784000_79.12.907.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1377\/hlthaff.2015.0645"},{"key":"2025111002150784000_79.12.907.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3945\/an.112.003277"},{"key":"2025111002150784000_79.12.907.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Rabbitt MP , Hales LJ , Burke MP , et al .
