Food insecurity and its associations with cardiometabolic health in Latino individuals of Mexican ancestry
The findings reveal that food insecurity among Latino individuals of Mexican ancestry is associated with unhealthy food choices and higher HbA1c levels, exacerbating the risk of poor cardiometabolic health. This underscores an urgent need for targeted interventions to address food insecurity, ultimately promoting better metabolic health outcomes in vulnerable populations.
