Food insecurity is associated with muscle dysmorphia symptomatology among a sample of Canadian adolescents and young adults
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Prior research has documented the association between food insecurity and eating disorders, disordered eating behaviors, and body dissatisfaction. No known research has investigated whether food insecurity is associated with muscle dysmorphia symptomatology, which was the aim of this study. Data from 912 adolescents and young adults in Canada were analyzed. Linear regression analyses were used to determine the association between experiencing past year food insecurity and current muscle dysmorphia symptomatology. Among the sample, 15.7% reported experiencing any food insecurity. In regression analyses, food insecurity was significantly associated with greater overall muscle dysmorphia symptomatology and symptoms of Functional Impairment and Appearance Intolerance. Nearly one in five (18.5%) participants who reported food insecurity were at clinical risk for muscle-dysmorphia. Findings add to the growing literature on the adverse correlates of food insecurity and underscore the need for more research and intervention efforts to address the relationship between food insecurity and muscle dysmorphia symptomatology.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
