Abstract in brief

This study analyzed data from 149 countries and found that food insecurity (FI) is linked to worse mental health, with higher levels of FI correlating with increased depression and distress.
The research showed that as food insecurity worsens (from mild to severe), mental health indices also decline across all regions, regardless of socioeconomic status.
