Food insecurity and sleep deficiency among older Filipinos: the mediating roles of depressive symptoms and frailty phenotypes
The results indicated that food insecurity is associated with sleep deficiency, with frailty phenotype and depressive symptoms playing a potential mediating role. However, further research is needed to establish causal pathways. Preventing frailty and depression may help improve sleep health among individuals who are food insecure.
