Abstract:
Introduction: States governments must guarantee the food rights in social groups whose economic income is unstable and insufficient to ensure food security (SA).
Objective: To analyse economic income and food diversity as factors associated with SA in households with AUH in the Estaciòn Flores neighborhood, Córdoba, Argentina. Year 2019.
Resources and method: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Population: Total households with AUH (N = 209). Sample: 136 households (CI: 95%). Each participant gave their informed consent and the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki were respected. A semi-structured questionnaire designed ad hoc was tested and applied.Sociodemographic variables were collected: composition of the household, gender, age and educational level of the main breadwinner (PSH); socioeconomic: PSH labor market and total household income (ITH); and food: food diversity and food expenses. Based on the ITH and current values of the BFT and BFA, households were classified as non-poor, poor and indigent. Dietary diversity was categorized as adequate, acceptable and low according to FAO (2013). The situation of households before the SA adopted 3 categories: SA full, SA unstable and food insecurity (IA); These were determined by the proportion of ITH allocated to food expenses according to Figueroa Pedraza (2005). The association between variables was assessed with Chi-squared test in categorical and Pearson's correlation coefficient in measurable, assuming a significance level of p <0.05
Results: The situation of the sample before the SA got the following percentage distribution: 69% SA unstable; 22% AI; and 9% full SA. Dietary diversity showed a significant association with the situation of the household before AS (p <0.05). Of the total sample, 54% were below the poverty index and 46% below the indigence index. In indigent homes, AUH represented ≥40% of the ITH (p <0.05). It was also evidenced that the lower the ITH, the greater the proportion of income assigned to food expenses (p <0.05).
Conclusions: Monetary income constitutes a barrier to economic access to sufficient food in terms of quality and variety, affecting the SA of the studied population |

Objetivo: Analizar el ingreso económico y diversidad alimentaria como factores asociados a la SA en hogares titulares de AUH de Barrio Estación Flores, Córdoba. Año 2019. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, de corte transversal. Población: Total de hogares titulares de AUH (N=209). Muestra: 136 hogares (IC:95%). Cada participante otorgó su consentimiento informado y se respetaron los principios de la declaración de Helsinki. Se aplicó un cuestionario semiestructurado diseñado ad hoc, sometido a prueba piloto. Se relevaron variables sociodemográficas: composición del hogar, género, edad y nivel educativo del principal sostén del hogar (PSH); socioeconómicas: mercado laboral del PSH e ingreso total del hogar (ITH); y alimentarias: diversidad alimentaria y gastos alimentarios. A partir del ITH y valores vigentes de la CBT y CBA se clasificó los hogares en no pobres, pobres e indigentes. La diversidad alimentaria se categorizó en adecuada, aceptable y baja según FAO (2013). La situación de los hogares ante la SA adoptó 3 categorías: SA plena, SA inestable e inseguridad alimentaria (IA); estas fueron determinadas mediante la proporción del ITH destinado a gastos alimentarios según Figueroa Pedraza (2005). La asociación entre variables fue valorada con Chi–cuadrado en categóricas y coeficiente de correlación de Pearson en mensurables, asumiendo un nivel de significación de p<0,05. Resultados: La situación de la muestra ante la SA siguió la siguiente distribución porcentual: 69% SA inestable; 22% IA; y 9% SA plena. La diversidad alimentaria mostró asociación significativa con la situación del hogar ante la SA (p<0,05). Del total de la muestra el 54% se ubicó por debajo de la línea de pobreza y el 46% bajo la línea de indigencia. En hogares indigentes la AUH representó ≥40% del ITH (p<0,05). Se evidenció además que a menor ITH mayor es la proporción de ingresos destinada a gastos alimentarios (p<0,05). Conclusiones: Los ingresos monetarios constituye una barrera al acceso económico de alimentos suficientes en términos de calidad y variedad incidiendo en la SA de la población estudiada.
