description Abstract:  Introduction: Social groups living in poverty and food insecurity (FI) are exposed to suffer from excessive malnutrition. Aim: To analyze the connection between alimentary situation of the household and dietary factors underlying overweight and obesity risk in households of the Universal Child Allowance 1(AUH) in 2Barrio Estación Flores, Córdoba capital, Argentina, 2020. Materials and methods: Observational, descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study. Population: Total amount of households of the AUH (N=284). Probabilistic sample: 164 homes (3CI: 95%). Informed consent was granted by each participant and the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki were respected. A half-structured ad hoc designed questionnaire was applied and subjected to a pilot test. Socio-demographic, economic and alimentary variables were investigated. Alimentary situation of the household was categorized into food security (FS) and 3 levels of FI according to FAO, 2012. Considered factors underlying overweight and obesity risk were: food diversity (according to FAO, 2013) and food consumption profile (resulting from the application of a food frequency questionnaire). The latter originated two categories: one with predominance of high nutritional density food, and another with predominance of its opposite. The calculation between the proportion and CI (95%) determined the prevalence of FI. The Chi-squared test and the Spearman´s rank correlation coefficient established the connection between variables, which assumed a level of significance of 4p<0.05. Results: As for the sample´s total amount, 81% showed some level of FI; homes with low alimentary diversity (76%) and predominance in consumption of low nutritional density food (72%) took precedence. The connection between FI and diet´s diversity turned out to be statistically significant (p<0.05) showing a negative correlation (the greater the FI, the lesser the nutritional diversity). The connection between the FI and the alimentary consumption profile was equally significant (p<0.05). However, it showed a positive correlation (the greater the FI, the greater the consumption of low nutritional density food). Conclusion: The FI experienced in households of the AUH boosts the presence of dietary factors, included in the analysis, underlying overweight and obesity risk.

[Translator´s notes] 1 Asignación Universal por Hijo/a – Spanish translation for Universal Child Allowance 2 Neighborhood in Córdoba capital 3 Confidence interval Resumen:  Introducción: Los grupos sociales que desarrollan sus vidas en contextos de pobreza e inseguridad alimentaria (IA) están expuestos al riesgo de padecer malnutrición por exceso. Objetivo: Analizar la asociación entre situación alimentaria del hogar y factores dietéticos predisponentes al riesgo de sobrepeso y obesidad en hogares titulares de asignación universal por hija/o (AUH) de barrio Estación Flores, Córdoba capital, año 2020. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y correlacional, de corte transversal. Población: Total de hogares titulares de AUH (N=284). Muestra probabilística: 164 hogares (IC:95%). Cada participante otorgó su consentimiento informado y se respetaron los principios de la declaración de Helsinki. Se aplicó cuestionario semiestructurado diseñado ad hoc y sometido a prueba piloto. Se relevaron variables sociodemográficas, económicas y alimentarias. La situación alimentaria del hogar se categorizó en seguridad alimentaria (SA) y 3 niveles de IA según FAO, 2012. Los factores predisponentes al riesgo de sobrepeso y obesidad considerados fueron: diversidad alimentaria (categorizada según FAO, 2013), y perfil de consumo alimentario (resultante tras aplicar cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo por grupo de alimentos). Este último derivó en 2 categorías: con predominio de alimentos de alta densidad nutricional o con predominio de sus inversos. La prevalencia de IA se determinó mediante el cálculo de la proporción e IC (95%). La asociación entre variables se constató mediante prueba de Chi-cuadrado y test de correlación de Spearman, asumiendo un nivel de significación de p<0,05. Resultados: Del total de la muestra el 81% presentó algún nivel de IA; primaron los hogares con diversidad alimentaria baja (76%); y con predominio en el consumo de alimentos de baja densidad nutricional (72%). La asociación entre IA y diversidad de la dieta resultó ser estadísticamente significativa (p<0,05); observándose entre ambas una correlación negativa (a mayor IA menor diversidad alimentaria). La asociación entre IA y perfil de consumo alimentario también resultó significativa (p<0,05), observándose en este caso una correlación positiva (a mayor IA mayor consumo de alimentos de baja densidad nutricional). Conclusiones: La IA que experimentan los hogares titulares de AUH favorece la presencia de los factores dietéticos predisponentes al riesgo de sobrepeso y obesidad incluidos en el análisis.
