dc.description.abstract | Objective: To explore associations between household food security and home
gardening, use of soya and pressure cooker ownership in low-income households
affected by HIV/AIDS in Aurangabad, India.
Design: Cross-sectional pilot study which assessed household food security using
the validated US Department of Agriculture’s food security core-module questionnaire.
Questions were added to explore household environment, education,
occupation, home gardening, use of soya and pressure cooker ownership.
Households with very low v. low food security were compared using logistic
regression analysis, controlling for confounding by socio-economic status.
Setting: Aurangabad is an urban setting situated in a primarily agricultural
dependent area. The study was carried out in 2008, at the peak of the global food crisis.
Subjects: Adult caregivers of children affiliated with the Network of People Living
with HIV/AIDS in Aurangabad.
Results: All except for one of 133 households were identified as food insecure
(99?2 %). Of these households, 35?6% had to cut size or skip a meal in the past
30 d. Households that cut meal size due to cooking fuel shortages were more
likely to have very low food security (OR54?67; 95% CI 1?62, 13?44) compared
with households having no cooking fuel shortages. Owning a pressure cooker
was shown to be protective against very low food security after controlling for
confounding by socio-economic status (OR50?27; 95% CI 0?11, 0?64).
Conclusions: Only pressure cooker ownership showed a protective association
with low household food security. Pressure cookers save household fuel costs.
Therefore, future interventions should explore pressure cookers as a sustainable
means of improving household food security | en_US |
