Abstract
International literature suggests that food insecurity is linked with increased risks of functional impairment. However, data on the mediational mechanisms underlying this association are largely lacking. This study investigates the indirect relationship (via mental distress) between food insecurity and functional limitations among older adults in Ghana and evaluates the moderating effect of age, sex, and physical activity in this association.
