This study was carried out to determine lipid profile (TC, TG, HDL, and LDL), inflammatory marker (hs-CRP), molecular changes on gene expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-y) and endothelial dysfunction (sE-Selectin) with food security status, especially among young adults. A cross-sectional comparative study among participants between 18 to 25 years old (n=124) who were selected through the Adults Food Security Survey Module (AFSSM) and participated in blood draw procedures. Well-established blood markers of lipid profile and inflammatory marker were measured. Percentage of food secure individuals (56.5%) was slightly higher than food insecure (43.5%). An independent-samples r-test was conducted to compare the food security status on the all parameters. Mean of hs-CRP (0.660±0.473 mg/L) was higher in food secure group, with all other variables showed higher measurements among the food insecure groups, while TC (5.087±0.647 mmol/L), HDL (1.800±0.299 mmol/L) and LDL (2.956±0.573 mmol/L)], relative normalized expression (RNE) of PPAR-y (1.188), and sE-selectin (3867.28±793.34 pg/mL) were high for food insecure respectively. However, no significant association (p>0.05) was found between all parameter except sE-selectin. In conclusion, this study showed that food insecurity experienced was influenced body chemical, physical and molecular changes. Regardless, current data provides knowledge and understanding of food insecurity experienced by young adults in a university campus and may help them in making nutritious food choices and be appreciative and aware of the risk of chronic illnesses which should have started at a young age. 2016 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/27255/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/27255/1/TM_NUR%20ATIQAH%20ALIAS%20HS%2016_5.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA Faculty of Health Sciences
