To study dietary diversity and its relationship with socio-economic and nutritional characteristics of women in an urban Sahelian context.
A qualitative dietary recall was performed over a 24-h period. Dietary diversity scores (DDS = number of food groups consumed) were calculated from a list of nine food groups (DDS-9) or from a list of 22 food groups (DDS-22) which detailed both micronutrient- and energy-dense foods more extensively. Body mass index (BMI), mid upper-arm circumference and body fat percentage were used to assess the nutritional status of the women.
Five hundred and fifty-seven women randomly selected in two districts of Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso.
The mean DDS-9 and DDS-22 were 4.9 +/- 1.0 and 6.5 +/- 1.8 food groups, respectively. In the high tertile of DDS-22, more women consumed fatty and sweetened foods, fresh fish, non-fatty meat and vitamin-A-rich fruits and vegetables. The DDS-9 was not associated with the women's socio-economic characteristics whereas the DDS-22 was higher when the women were younger, richer and had received at least a minimum education. Mean BMI of the women was 24.2 +/- 4.9 kg m-2 and 37% of them were overweight or obese (BMI > or = 25 kg m-2). Neither the DDS-9 nor the DDS-22 was associated with the women's anthropometric status, even though there was a trend towards fewer overweight women in the lowest tertile of DDS-22.
In this urban area, the qualitative measurement of dietary diversity is not sufficient to identify women at risk of under- or overweight.
研究萨赫勒地区城市女性的饮食多样性及其与社会经济和营养特征的关系。
进行为期24小时的定性饮食回顾。饮食多样性得分（DDS = 所食用食物组的数量）通过9种食物组列表（DDS - 9）或22种食物组列表（DDS - 22）计算得出，后者更详细地列出了富含微量营养素和能量的食物。采用体重指数（BMI）、上臂中部周长和体脂百分比来评估女性的营养状况。
在布基纳法索首都瓦加杜古的两个区随机选取557名女性。
DDS - 9和DDS - 22的平均得分分别为4.9±1.0个食物组和6.5±1.8个食物组。在DDS - 22得分最高的三分位数组中，更多女性食用了高脂肪和高糖食物、鲜鱼、非高脂肪肉类以及富含维生素A的水果和蔬菜。DDS - 9与女性的社会经济特征无关，而DDS - 22在女性更年轻、更富有且至少接受过最低限度教育时更高。女性的平均BMI为24.2±4.9 kg/m²，其中37%超重或肥胖（BMI≥25 kg/m²）。DDS - 9和DDS - 22均与女性的人体测量状况无关，尽管在DDS - 22得分最低的三分位数组中，超重女性有减少的趋势。
在该城市地区，饮食多样性的定性测量不足以识别有体重过轻或超重风险的女性。
