Objectives: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of food insecurity among Lebanese University (Hadath Campus) students and examine its association with demographic characteristics, academic performance, body mass index (BMI), and household monthly income. Methods: A total of 755 participants that studied at Hadath Campus of Lebanese University were recruited for this study. The prevalence of food insecurity was assessed using a validated scale of 7 items: Arabic Family Food Security Scale (AFFSS). Findings:  Responses to the AFFSS indicated that 8.9% of students were food insecure, among which 7.5% and 1.4% were respectively moderately and severely food insecure.  Also, 91.1% were food secure. Food security status was significantly associated with age (p=0.001), family monthly allowance (p<0.001), weight (p=0.023), faculty (p=0.009) and BMI (p=0.04). Conclusion: The prevalence of food-insecure students was approximately 9% in the sample. Further studies are needed to measure food insecurity among Lebanese University students across the rest of the campuses in order to have enough evidence regarding the food insecurity level. Moreover, policies and programs must address food insecurity levels among students to ensure that all the resources are available for these students to succeed.

The study analyses food insecurity in Poland on the basis of data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. This data assesses the scale of experiencing food insecurity by the respondents. It includes information obtained during 2014-2019 from 6080 people. The dependence of food insecurity on the subjective and objective income situation of individuals was examined. Typical methods of analysis were used, such as Pearson’s χ2 test, Cramer V and Kendall τb measures, and the logit model. It was found that the perception of food insecurity depends more on the subjective rather than objective income situation.

W pracy podjęto się analizy zjawiska braku bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego w Polsce na podstawie danych Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych ds. Wyżywienia i Rolnictwa. Dane te odnoszą się do oceny skali doświadczania niepewności żywnościowej przez respondentów. Obejmują informacje pozyskane w latach 2014-2019 od 6080 osób. W pracy badano zależność występowania braku bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego od indywidualnej obiektywnej i subiektywnej sytuacji dochodowej. Wykorzystano typowe metody analizy danych, takie jak test χ2 Pearsona, miary V Cramera i τb Kendalla, jak również model logitowy. Stwierdzono, że odczuwanie braku bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego było bardziej zależne od subiektywnej niż od obiektywnej sytuacji dochodowej.
