Unadjusted logit regression models of the direct relationship and association between potential mediating variables to both exposure (food insecurity) and outcome variables (health) (n = 566).
| Panel A: Direct relationship | |||

| Food insecurity | 0.90 (0.23)⁎⁎⁎ | 1.52 (0.30)⁎⁎⁎ | 1.03 (0.25)⁎⁎⁎ |
| Panel B: Potential mediator - fruit & vegetable consumption | ||||

| Panel C: Potential mediator - distress intolerance | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Potential mediator |
Health outcomes |

| Distress intolerance | Poor health | Depression | Post-traumatic stress disorder | |

| Distress intolerance | – | 0.54 (0.09)⁎⁎⁎ | 1.01 (0.11)⁎⁎⁎ | 0.72 (0.11)⁎⁎⁎ |
Note: Distress Tolerance Scale was reverse coded so higher scores indicate greater distress intolerance.
