Measurement of food poverty (shoku no hinkon) as capability deprivation in high-income countries: operationalisation with single mothers in Japan
Asia Pac J Clin Nutr. 2023 Dec;32(4):383-391. doi: 10.6133/apjcn.202312_32(4).0002.ABSTRACTExisting food insecurity instruments are focused largely on the financial constraints associated with acquiring sufficient amounts of food.
