Food insecurity occurs when consistent access to adequate food is limited by a lack of money and other resources at times during the year.
Factors for food insecurity are high in elderly, people without spouse, people who consume alcohol and tobacco and people with diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
It is found high among elderly because most of the elderly are single and without partner and that lead to food insecurity. Elderly are mostly with disease above mentioned that is high blood pressure and diabetes and that also lead to food insecurity. Elderly have no one to call for help in most of the cases and they also have dental and other oral problems that lead to food insecurity.
