Description
Francielle Veloso Pinto Pereira, Raquel Canuto, and Ilaine Schuch ask whether strong social ties in a neighborhood go with lower food insecurity. Published in 2024, their study surveyed 400 adults and older people in a health region of Porto Alegre, in southern Brazil. Food insecurity has grown worldwide in recent years, the authors note.
Home interviews measured both food insecurity, with a short Brazilian scale, and how people rated social cohesion where they live. People with more positive views of cohesion were less likely to face food insecurity, even after other factors were taken into account. The gap was about a quarter lower in relative terms. The authors say the social setting of a community matters on its own.
