FI associated with prior asthma (p = 0.002), arthritis (p = 0.051), chronic bronchitis (p = 0.001), depression (p < 0.001), diabetes (p = 0.042), eczema (p = 0.001), emphysema (p = 0.013), liver problems (p = 0.022), suggesting disability from illness might prevent these individuals from being employed.

HFSSM

Most conditions increased the odds of FI when controlling for other sociodemographics, and this effect became greater with the increasing number of comorbid chronic conditions: OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.28 - 1.59 for one condition, OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.62 - 2.14 for two, and OR 3.44, 95% CI 3.02 - 3.93) for 3 or more.

serum fasting triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and their ratios

HFSSM

FI not associated with lipid measures among men. Among women, those with moderate food insecurity were more likely to have abnormal LDL (p = 0.045), and those with FI but not hunger had higher abnormal fasting serum triglyceride (p = 0.041).

People with FI were more likely to have diabetes based on self-report (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.13 - 1.85). People with FI and hypertension were more likely to have better blood pressure control (OR 1.335, 95% CI 1.06 - 1.68).
