SUMMARY:

Changes in food security levels can reflect on losses in functional mobility and muscle strength, and consequently, quality of life. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association of the occurrence of Food Insecurity (FI) with Functional Mobility and health and nutrition conditions in older people. It is a cross-sectional study carried out on three continents and nested within the International Mobility in Aging Study (IMIAS) cohort. Data were obtained from the collection carried out in the third wave in 2016 at five cities: Kingston and St. Hyacinthe, in Canada (North America); Tirana in Albania (Europe), Manizales in Colombia, and Natal in Brazil (South America), totaling 1506 older people. To verify the occurrence of FI at home, we used the Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale (ELCSA), and to assess functional mobility, the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). The independent variables were: muscle strength, measured with a manual dynamometer; the anthropometric nutritional status, verified by the Body Mass Index (BMI); and multimorbidity when the person had two or more non-communicable chronic diseases. The results showed that up to 30% of the population had some degree of FI at home, and more frequent in underdeveloped countries. Older people with food insecurity at home had lower scores in all stages of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and a higher proportion of older people with restricted mobility (PR=1.66; 95%CI 1.30;2.11). The occurrence of FI at home and limited mobility were more frequent among the oldest old (>75 years) and among women, and higher frequencies occurred in the cities of Tirana, Manizales, and Natal (in descending order). More than half of the evaluated population was overweight/obese and had multimorbidity. The overweight/obesity, multimorbidity, and reduced muscle strength were associated with reduced mobility, but they were not associated with FI at home. In conclusion, the cities located in Albania, Colombia, and Brazil were the highest occurrences of FI at home. Reduced mobility was positively associated with food insecurity at home, overweight/obesity, multimorbidity, and reduced muscle strength.
