This study investigates the connections between food insecurity, food literacy, quality of life, and mental well-being in adults.
Conducted a cross-sectional online survey in Türkiye among adults aged 18-64 years.
Used USDA Food Security Survey Module (FSSM) to assess food insecurity.
Measured food literacy with the Short Food Literacy Questionnaire (SFLQ).
Evaluated quality of life using EUROHIS Quality of Life 8-Item Index.
Assessed mental well-being with the Short Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS).
44.1% of participants experienced food insecurity.
Lower income, education, female gender, and more children were linked to higher food insecurity odds.
Food-insecure individuals reported lower food literacy, quality of life, and mental well-being.
Significant negative correlations were found between food insecurity and food literacy, quality of life, and mental well-being.
Increases in quality of life and mental well-being scores correlated with decreases in food insecurity scores.
