Household food insecurity (FI) is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon. Despite much debate on FI, during the past decades several unaccounted aspects that are assumed to affect the FI of women still remain. Reducing the FI requires understanding its determinants. During this cross-sectional study (Jun to May of 2017), 188 women (19 ∼64 years of age) were recruited in Sardrood-Tabriz, North-East Iran using cluster, random, and systematic sampling methods. Outcomes included socio-demographics, body compositions, anthropometric incidences, degree of FI, and fiveitem healthy eating scores (HES-5). Food security was classified as follows: high, marginal, low, and very low (HFS, MFS, LFS, and VLFS, respectively). Based on multiple logistic regression scores, significant relationships were found between household food security status and occupation, education level of household supervisor, number of girls and boys in the family, the household income level, and HES-5 [odds ratios (OR)=2.92; P=0.02, OR=46.57; P=0.03, OR=2.43; P=0.02, OR=2.56; P=0.005, OR=3.84; P=0.009, and OR=1.67; P<0.001, respectively], after adjusting for other factors. Influences inversely affecting diet quality and anthropometric indices may contribute to poor health status in affected women.
