Studies examining the impact of food insecurity on metabolic markers are limited, specifically in Hispanic youth. This study was a cross-sectional analysis of 218 third–fifth-grade students (83% Hispanic and 49% male). Anthropometrics, blood glucose, insulin, and lipids via fasting blood draw, dietary intake via Block screener, and a five-item food-security scale were collected. Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance-insulin resistance was calculated. Multivariate analyses of covariance were used to examine differences in glucose and insulin indices, adiposity, metabolic, and dietary intake variables between categories of food security. Food-secure children had greater glycemic control and decreased insulin resistance compared to food-insecure children.
