Poverty and Food Insecurity
NOTE: Food-insecure households are those in which either adults or children or both were “food insecure,” meaning
that, at times, they were unable to acquire adequate food for active, healthy living for all household members because
they had insufficient money and other resources for food. Statistics for 1996–1998 and 2000 are omitted because
they are not directly comparable with those for other years.

Nearly three in ten beneficiaries (29 percent) are limited in their ability to handle basic activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing and eating, with even higher shares among the nonelderly disabled population (42 percent) and those ages 85 and older (48 percent). A similar share of all beneficiaries (30 percent) are limited in their ability to do instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), such as housework, preparing meals, and using the telephone.

Self-stigma and the “why try” effect: impact on life goals and evidence-based practices
World Psychiatry. 2009 June;8(2):75-81.
