Study Examines Links Between Food Insecurity, Type 2 Diabetes, and Neighborhood Cohesion in Latino Populations

https://nimhd.nih.gov/news-events/research-spotlights/food-insecurity-and-type-2-diabetes-among-latinos.html?utm_campaign=research_spotlight&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery When Latino adults experience food insecurity, they are three times more likely to have type 2 diabetes than people who are food secure. To determine if neighborhood cohesion could influence this relationship, researchers looked to the 2013-2018 National Health Interview Survey. They analyzed the type 2 diabetes, food security, and neighborhood cohesion data from 23,478 Latino survey respondents ages 18 years or older.
