FI was assessed using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS), and pain was evaluated using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Disease severity was measured using the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) for MS and the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28) for RA. Group comparisons were performed, and multivariable regression analyses were conducted to examine associations between FI, pain, disease activity, and demographic factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      FI was identified in 65% of patients with MS and 37.5% of those with RA (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.014). Patients with MS had greater odds of exhibiting FI compared to those with RA (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.028). In multivariable analyses among patients with MS, greater disability was associated with increased FI (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.019). In contrast, among those with RA, disease activity was not associated with FI. In pooled sample analyses, greater FI was independently associated with both pain severity (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.027) and pain interference (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.009). Overall, FI is prevalent among patients with MS and RA, with a greater prevalence observed in MS. Greater FI was consistently associated with increased pain severity and interference. These findings highlight the importance of routine FI screening and tailored nutritional and social support interventions in vulnerable populations.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/02601060261501247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,24]],"date-time":"2026-10-24T04:36:11Z","timestamp":1792816571000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Food insecurity and pain burden in patients with multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis: A comparative case-control study"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"given":"Zoi","family":"Karafoulidou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Immunonutrition and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Medical School, University of Thessaly, Larissa, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7864-5349","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eleni C","family":"Pardali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Immunonutrition and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Medical School, University of Thessaly, Larissa, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-0815-4700","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arriana","family":"Gkouvi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Immunonutrition and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Medical School, University of Thessaly, Larissa, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0119-8114","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vana","family":"Tsimourtou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Thessaly","place":["Greece"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ioannis","family":"Alexiou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Immunonutrition and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Medical School, University of Thessaly, Larissa, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Efthimios","family":"Dardiotis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Thessaly","place":["Greece"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8864-4403","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Markos","family":"Klonizakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sheffield Hallam University","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9697-7902","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dimitrios P","family":"Bogdanos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Immunonutrition and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Medical School, University of Thessaly, Larissa, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4167-6595","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria G","family":"Grammatikopoulou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Immunonutrition and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Medical School, University of Thessaly, Larissa, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13690-022-01013-y"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/children9040472"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_1","unstructured":"Agriculture and Economic Development Analysis Division (1996) The State of Food and Agriculture 1996.
