A notable proportion (more than one-fifth) experienced marginal, low or very low food security. Food insecurity and financially driven food changes were accompanied by decreases in the odds of being a high fruit and vegetable consumer. Findings underline the potential consequences of food insecurity, and point to further work aiming to examine other dietary implications, as well as strategies to mitigate against food insecurity and its detriment.
