Food insecurity which refers to the inability to have sufficient, safe and nutritious food for an active and healthy life has been an alarming issue worldwide. Food insecurity was found to be closely associated with adverse health outcomes. However, there are limited studies done which explains on the inflammatory events among food secure and insecure individual especially in young adults. The determination of inflammatory related disease indicators which includes serum micronutrient, lipid profile, inflammatory and immunological markers among those groups was therefore studied. A comparative cross-sectional study was designed to the UiTM Puncak Alam students that represent studied participants in the range of aged 18 to 25 years old (n=T50).
