Abstract
ABSTRACT This online, cross-sectional study examined food insecurity and sleep quality among pregnant/recently pregnant women (N = 486). The prevalence of food insecurity was highest among emerging adults (69%), followed by young adults (57%) and middle-aged adults (31%). In adjusted models, emerging and young adults had 2.42 (1.19, 4.97) and 2.62 (1.60, 4.37) times the odds of food insecurity compared to middle-aged adults. Individuals reporting low food security (−0.29 [−0.44, −0.13]) and very low food security (−0.61 [−0.80, −0.41]) had lower sleep quality compared to individuals reporting food security. Emerging adult mothers are at risk of food insecurity and associated low sleep quality.
