Abstract

Objectives: To examine the relationship of food insecurity with sexual intercourse, multiple sexual partners and non-condom use. Methods: Data on food insecurity (hunger) and sexual behaviors from 205,296 adolescents from 53 countries. Associations were analyzed using meta-analysis. Results: Overall, 16.0% of the adolescents ever had sexual intercourse and the prevalence of moderate and severe food insecurity was 44.9% and 6.2%, respectively. Moderate and severe food insecurity was associated with higher odds for sexual intercourse. Any food insecurity was significantly associated with condom nonuse at last sex. Conclusions: Food insecurity was associated with higher odds of ever having sexual intercourse dose-dependently.

摘要

目标：研究粮食不安全与性交，多个性伴侣和不使用安全套之间的关系。方法：来自53个国家的205,296名青少年的粮食不安全（饥饿）和性行为数据。关联使用荟萃分析进行了分析。结果：总体上，有16.0％的青少年曾经发生过性行为，中度和重度粮食不安全的患病率分别为44.9％和6.2％。中度和严重的粮食不安全与性交几率较高有关。任何粮食不安全都与上次性行为不使用避孕套有很大关系。结论：粮食不安全与性交剂量依赖的可能性更高。
