BACKGROUND: In 2013, 20% of US households with @entity1 experienced food insecurity. @entity565 afflicts over 7 million @entity1 ; prevalence has steadily increased while incidence peaks in young @entity1 . @entity565 and food insecurity share the determinants of poverty and race that are associated with weight, yet limited research on the relation between food insecurity and @entity565 exists. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine the association between food insecurity and @entity565 in a diverse sample of @entity1 . METHODS: Cross-sectional data from grade 3 of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort were analyzed (n = 11,099). Food security based on the USDA module and @entity565 diagnosis were reported by parents; anthropometric factors were measured. Multivariate logistic regression models of food security and @entity565 were analyzed overall and by race/ethnicity. RESULTS: @entity1 in food-insecure households had a 4% higher adjusted odds of @entity565 (95% CI: 1.02, 1.06). Adjusted odds of @entity565 were also higher by 70% for males (95% CI: 1.69, 1.71), 53% for @entity7864 ( @entity7864 ) @entity1 (95% CI: 1.51, 1.54), 20% for Hispanic @entity1 (95% CI: 1.19, 1.21), 38% for overweight @entity1 (95% CI: 1.36, 1.39), 67% for @entity28 @entity1 (95% CI: 1.65, 1.68), 23% for low-birth weight @entity1 (95% CI: 1.21, 1.24), 24% if mothers had a high school diploma (95% CI: 1.23, 1.26), and 33% if mothers had some college education (95% CI: 1.32, 1.35). High-birth weight @entity1 (OR: 0.84; 95% CI: 0.83, 0.85) and those with foreign-born mothers (OR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.51, 0.53) had lower odds of @entity565 . Being food-insecure remained positively associated with @entity565 in non-Hispanic whites and Hispanics but was inversely associated with odds among NHBs. Odds of @entity565 doubled (OR: 2.00; 95% CI: 1.97, 2.03) for all @entity1 in households that were both food-insecure and poor; this relation remained positive in race/ethnicity-specific models. CONCLUSIONS: Food insecurity is positively associated with @entity565 in US third graders, and household poverty strengthens the association.
