RESUMEN
Resumen Objetivo:
Estimar la proporción de hogares con inseguridad alimentaria (IA) en los veinte municipios del estado de Nayarit, México, e identificar los factores que la determinan. Material ymétodos:
Se estimó la IA utilizando la versión armonizada para México de la Escala Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Seguridad Alimentaria (ELCSA). Los hogares se clasificaron según nivel de IA leve, moderada y severa. Se describe la distribución de IA según tipo de localidad y se analiza la prevalencia de IA según variables asociadas.Resultados:
76.2% de los hogares se identificaron con algún nivel IA. La prevalencia de IA fue mayor en hogares rurales, así como en hogares con mayor número de menores de cinco años, mayor número de mayores de 64 años, mayor número de integrantes en hogar, jefatura femenina y menor escolaridad del (la) jefe(a) de familia.Conclusiones:
La ELCSA puede ser útil para asociar IA con factores socioeconómicos.ABSTRACT
