The results showed that the highest prevalence of food insecurity was found among Vietnamese (16.42 percent) and the lowest prevalence was among Japanese (2.28 percent). A significant relationship was noted between prevalence of food insecurity and low acculturation for Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese subgroups. .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 p.MsoNormal, .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 li.MsoNormal, .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 div.MsoNormal {margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:8.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:107%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;} .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 .MsoChpDefault {font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;} .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 .MsoPapDefault {margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:107%;} @page WordSection1 {size:8.5in 11.0in;margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;} .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 .MsoChpDefault {font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;} .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 .MsoPapDefault {margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:107%;} @page WordSection1 {size:8.5in 11.0in;margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;} .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 .MsoChpDefault {font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;} .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 .MsoPapDefault {margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:107%;} @page WordSection1 {size:8.5in 11.0in;margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;} .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 .MsoChpDefault {font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;} .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 .MsoPapDefault {margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:107%;} @page WordSection1 {size:8.5in 11.0in;margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in;} .ExternalClassE70C5A267DD6415FAA3FF5D74AB0DA25 div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;}
