dc.description.abstract | Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have high burdens of nutrition-related chronic
diseases. This has been associated with lack of access to adequate and affordable nutritious foods
and increasing reliance on imported foods. Our aim in this study was to investigate dietary patterns
and food insecurity and assess their associations with socio-demographic characteristics and food
sources. We recruited individuals aged 15 years and above from rural and urban areas in Fiji (n = 186)
and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) (n = 147). Data collection included a 24 h diet recall, food
source questionnaire and the Food Insecurity Experience Scale. We conducted latent class analysis
to identify dietary patterns, and multivariable regression to investigate independent associations
with dietary patterns. | en_US |
