Relationship between household food insecurity and minimum dietary diversity among pregnant women attending antenatal care at public health facilities in Fiche town, Oromia region, Central Ethiopia: A facility-based cross-sectional study

This study examined how food insecurity affects the variety of foods pregnant women eat in Ethiopia. Researchers found that only about one-third of pregnant women ate a diverse diet containing enough different food groups. The study showed that women from food-secure households and those who received nutritional counseling during prenatal care were much more likely to eat a varied diet. The findings suggest that helping pregnant women access diverse nutritious foods and providing proper nutrition education during healthcare visits could significantly improve their dietary quality.
