Statements
To describe the distribution of nutritional status and food insecurity among the adult transgender population in the Baixada Santista region of the state of São Paulo and to identify associated factors. (English)
This was a cross-sectional study using data from the research project entitled Mapping the Transgender Population in Baixada Santista of the state of São Paulo, conducted through a structured questionnaire administered between August and December 2023. (English)
The outcomes were nutritional status and food and nutrition insecurity (FNI). (English)
The association analysis was performed using Fisher's exact test. (English)
A total of 237 people took part in the study. (English)
High prevalence of FNI was associated with an income of less than 2 minimum wages (p < 0.001), difficulty finding a job (p < 0.001) and lack of family support related to gender (p = 0.001). (English)
Difficulty reading/writing (p = 0.025) and proximity to an open-air market (p = 0.033) were negatively or positively associated with adequate nutritional status, respectively. (English)
The high prevalence of FNI among the most vulnerable population and the adequate nutritional status associated with proximity to open-air markets indicate the need for policies aimed at reducing inequities and expand access to adequate food. (English)
The high prevalence of FNI was associated with low income, difficulty finding a job and lack of family support. (English)
MAIN RESULTS (English)
Adequate nutritional status among the transgender population analyzed was associated with proximity to open-air markets. (English)
MAIN RESULTS (English)
