METHODS: A cross-sectional survey of NCAA athletes from a Southeastern Conference (SEC) university was approved by the Institutional Review Board and conducted during August-September, 2016. The questionnaire included the USDA food security survey module and questions related to disordered eating behaviors and food hoarding USDA methods were used to calculate FSS. RESULTS: Participating athletes (n=111) were 19.7±1.4 y and primarily white, football players [Race: white (n=63, 56.8%); black (n=38, 34.2%); other (n=10, 9.0%)] [Sport: football (n=62, 55.9%); baseball (n=20, 18.0%); cross country/track (n=17, 15.3%); golf (n=4, 3.6%) basketball (n=8, 7.2%)] [(HSFSS: high food security (n=91, 82.0%); marginal food security (n=5, 4.5%); low food security (n=8, 7.2%); very low food security (n=7, 6.3%).

OMFSS was significantly correlated with preoccupation with food in college (taub=.336, P<.001) and keep/hiding food in lockers (taub=-.272, p=.003). CONCLUSION: HSFSS is associated with preoccupation with food in male collegiate athletes. OMFSS is associated with preoccupation with food and food hoarding in male collegiate athletes.
