Food-Insecure Women Eat a Less Diverse Diet in a More Temporally Variable Way: Evidence from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2013-4

Table 2

Parameter estimates for the difference between food-secure and food-insecure women. Adjusted models include income, education, ethnicity, having children in the household, and age as additional predictors. Food-secure is the reference category, and hence the parameter estimates represent the deviation of food-insecure women from the food-secure mean.
