Risk of food insecurity and its association with social determinants of health among hospitalized patients in Lebanon
The study highlights the critical role of SDH, including educational level and geographical residence on experience of food insecurity among hospitalized patients. Screening for risk of food insecurity and associated determinants in health care settings are critical to design adequate programs and interventions to mitigate the risk of food and nutrition insecurity among vulnerable groups, particularly in conflict-affected settings.
