Household Food Insecurity and Cognition in Youth and Young Adults with Youth-Onset Diabetes

Table 3

Difference in average composite fluid cognition scores among youth and young adults with type 1 diabetes for models which included the interaction of household food security status and glycemic control.

Glycemic control (higher vs. lower HbA1c levels) and household food security status (food insecure vs food secure) interaction model	Estimate (95% CI)	p Value
Model 6^a (n = 1,240)		0.0199
Higher HbA1c levels for food insecure vs. food secure	1.46 (−1.54, 4.46)	0.3394
Lower HbA1c levels for food insecure vs. food secure	−3.89 (−7.26, −0.52)	0.0239
Model 7^b,c (n = 1,123)		0.0531
Higher HbA1c levels for food insecure vs. food secure	2.95 (−0.24, 6.14)	0.0702
Lower HbA1c levels for food insecure vs. food secure	−1.70 (−5.30, 1.90)	0.3548

^aModel 6 controlled for sex, race and ethnicity, clinic site, duration of diabetes, glycemic control, crystallized cognition and included the interaction of food insecurity and glycemic control. ^bModel 7 controlled for sex, race and ethnicity, clinic site, duration of diabetes, glycemic control, crystallized cognition, parental education, household income, and included the interaction of food insecurity and glycemic control. ^cDue to missing values for household income and parental education, Model 7 included a sample of 1,123 participants with type 1 diabetes.
