AbstractAim: To investigate the associations between food insecurity and geriatric syndromes, and the mediating role of malnutrition risk among economically deprived community-dwelling Chinese older adults. Findings: Food insecurity was associated with malnutrition risk, possible sarcopenia, frailty, and falls. Higher levels of food insecurity were linked to a greater number of geriatric syndromes. Furthermore, malnutrition risk mediated these relationships, with complete mediation observed specifically for the associations with frailty and the number of geriatric syndromes. Message: The findings inform policy and health services in strengthening food support services and the prevention of geriatric syndromes, hence, supporting healthy aging and the goals of sustainable development.
