Chronic Food Insecurity
112
# FOOD INSECURITY
Occurs when people are unable to meet their minimum
food requirements over a sustained period of time
Chronic Food Insecurity
113
# FOOD INSECURITY
Results from extended periods of poverty, lack of assets
and inadequate access to productive or financial
resources
Chronic Food Insecurity
114
# FOOD INSECURITY1.
Can be overcome with typical long-term development
measures also used to address poverty, such as
education or access to productive resources, such as
credit. They may also need more direct access to food
and enable them to raise their productive capacity
Chronic Food Insecurity
115
# FOOD INSECURITY
short -term and temporary
Transitory Food Insecurity
116
# FOOD INSECURITY
Occurs when there is a sudden drop in the ability to
produce or access enough food to maintain a good
nutritional status.
Transitory Food Insecurity
117
# FOOD INSECRUITY
Results from short-term shocks and fluctuations in food
availability and food access, including year-to-year
variations in domestic food production, food prices and
household items
Transitory Food Insecurity
118
# FOOD INSECRUITY
Can be overcome transitory food insecurity is relatively
unpredictable and can emerge suddenly. This makes
planning and programming more difficult and requires
different capacities and types of intervention, including
early warning capacity and safety net programmes
Transitory Food Insecurity
119
The concept of _______ falls between
chronic and transitory food insecurity
seasonal food security
120
It is similar to chronic food security as it is usually
predictable and follows a sequence of known events
seasonal food security
121
s of limited
duration it can also be seen as recurrent, transitory food
insecurity
seasonal food security
122
It occurs when there is a cyclical pattern of inadequate
availability and access to food
seasonal food security
123
This is associated with seasonal fluctuations in the
climate, cropping patterns, work opportunities (labor
demand) and disease
seasonal food security
124
s defined in terms of the following three critical dimensions:
● vulnerability to an outcome;
● From a variety of risk factors;
● because of aninability to manage those risks
VULNERABILITY TO FOOD INSECURITY
125
Vulnerability analysis suggests two main intervention options:
● Reduce the degree of exposure to the hazard
● Increase the ability to cope
126
Measures to enhance direct access to food are more
likely to be beneficial if these are embedded in more
general
social safety net programmes.
127
include income transfers for those chronically
unable to work—because of age or handicaps—and for
those temporarily affected by natural disasters or
economic recession

133
is usually understood as an uncomfortable or painful
sensation caused by insufficient food energy
consumption. Scientifically, is referred to as food
deprivation
Hunger
134
results from deficiencies, excesses or imbalances in the
consumption of macro- and/or micronutrients
Malnutrition
135
may be an outcome of food insecurity, or it
may relate to non- food factors, such as:
○ inadequate care practices for children,
○ insufficient health services; and
○ an unhealthy environment.
Malnutrition
136
is undoubtedly a
cause of hunger, lack
of adequate and
proper nutrition itself
is an underlying
cause of poverty.
Poverty
137
encompasses different dimensions of
deprivation that relate to human capabilities
including consumption and food security, health,
education, rights, voice, security, dignity and
decent work.”

Measurement of nutrient intake is probably the most
widely used indirect indicator of nutritional status.
Dietary Assessment
139
Approaches to Measuring Diet
○ Dietary Records
○ 24hoursdietary recall
○ Diet History
○ FFQ (food frequency questionnaires)
○ Biomarkersfor Intake
○ Automatic image capture methods
140
the subject is asked to
record all food and beverages immediately before or after
they are consumed.
Dietary Records
141
n which the recording is done can be
open,semi-open or closed.
food diary
142
is a precoder list of all of the commonly
eaten foods in units of specified portion size.
closed form
143
maybe meal-based and prestructured
with many foods and amount options listed but including
sufficient space for other foods
semi-open form
144
is that a participant
recalls actual food and beverage consumption for the
past 24 hor the preceding day
24-h Dietary Recall
145
s defined as from when the respondent
gets up one day until the respondent gets up the next
recalled day
146
used for assessment of usual meal
patterns and details of food intake of an individual.
Diet History
147
A short version of this method with a limited checklist of
foods is often used in the clinical setting for diagnosis
and as a basis for therapeutic dietary guidelines
Diet History
148
In 1947, Burke developed the dietary history technique in
three parts:
○ an interview about the subject's usual daily
pattern of food intake with quantities specified in
household measures,
○ across-check using a detailed list of foods and
○ a food diary in which the subject recorded food
intake for 3 days
149
s a preprinted list of foods on which subjects
are asked to estimate the frequency and very often also
the amount of habitual consumption during a specified
period.
Food Frequency Questionnaire
150
ary in the foods listed, length of the reference
period, response intervals for specifying frequency of
use, procedure for estimating portion size (pictures,
household measures,units) and manner of administration
Food Frequency Questionnaire
151
The most optimal food list depends on the research
questions and study population.
Food Frequency Questionnaire
152
Are biochemical indicators measured in biological
specimens(e.g.urine, blood (fractions)) that are
associated with dietary intake.
Biomarkers of Intake
153
Dietary biomarkers can be divided into several classes;
that is,
Recoverybiomarkers, predictive biomarkers,
concentration biomarkers and replacement
biomarkers
154
provide an estimate of absolute
intake levels, and predictive biomarkers show a dose
relationship with intake levels.
Recovery biomarkers
155
cannot be translated into absolute levels of intake, the
biomarker concentrations correlate with intakes of
corresponding food components.
concentration and replacement biomarkers
156
Examples are urinary nitrogen, sodium, and potassium,
and doubly labeled water.Vitamin and mineral levels in
blood fall in the class of
concentration biomarkers
