Canadians who have trouble keeping food on the table are more likely to die young and to die of almost every cause than those who can take dinner for granted, a new study reveals.

, found that adults who die prematurely do so at an average age of 68.9 when they are food secure, versus an average age of 59.5 when they are food insecure.

Researchers from the University of Toronto and the University of Manitoba reached their conclusions by analyzing premature death data and self-reported food insecurity levels of more than 25,000 Canadians who died prematurely between 2005 and 2017. The average Canadian life expectancy was around 82 years during this period.

"Severe food insecurity was consistently associated with higher mortality hazard across all causes of death except cancers," they wrote.
