Recent findings concerning childhood food insecurity.

TL;DR: Concern for their infant becoming overweight in the future was associated with food insecurity, and increased concern about future overweight and controlling feeding styles represent potential mechanisms by which food insecurity could be related to obesity.

TL;DR: The study shows stunting at an early age and adolescent obesity, particularly among girls, that co-exists in the same socio-geographic population and raises critical concerns in the wake of the rising public health importance of metabolic diseases in LMICs.

TL;DR: The data suggest that there are significant numbers of food insecure families in the UK and the poorer reported health and diets of young food insecure children have important implications for their development and lifelong health.

TL;DR: As stressors increased, odds of fair/poor health, hospitalizations, and developmental risk increased and odds of well-child status decreased and interactions between WIC participation and stressors favored WIC participants over nonparticipants in dual stressor families.

TL;DR: The Expert Panel recognized that they could not provide a comprehensive design for the evaluation of nutritional status for all difficult-to-sample populations that would be appropriate for all public health and policy purposes and concentrated their discussions on enumeration of the various issues that must be considered in planning any effort to evaluate the nutritional concerns for such populations.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that negative academic and psychosocial outcomes are associated with family-level food insufficiency and provide support for public health efforts to increase the food security of American families.

TL;DR: This study provides the strongest empirical evidence to date that food insecurity is linked to specific developmental consequences for children, and that these consequences may be both nutritional and nonnutritional.

TL;DR: Mental health problems in mothers and children are more common when mothers are food insecure, a stressor that can potentially be addressed by social policy.
