Diversified food during pregnancy is the very important since it is known to affect pregnancy and birth outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess dietary diversity practice and associated factors among rural pregnant women in North East Ethiopia.
A total of 647 pregnant women were participated with a response rate of 97.4%. The adequate dietary diversity practice of pregnant women was found to be 31.4% [95% confidence interval (CI) 27.8-35.2]. Cereals were the most commonly consumed food groups. Dietary diversity practice of pregnant women was associated with maternal education [Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 2.36, 95% CI 1.29, 4.32], wealth index (AOR = 1.85, 95% CI 1.21, 2.82), nutrition information (AOR = 2.51, 95% CI 1.05, 6.02) and Productive safety net program beneficiary (PSNP) (AOR = 1.7, 95% CI 1.16, 2.50). The dietary diversity practice of pregnant women was found to be low in the study area. Maternal education, wealth status, having nutrition information and PSNP beneficiary were the determinant factors.
孕期饮食多样化非常重要，因为已知其会影响妊娠和分娩结局。本研究的目的是评估埃塞俄比亚东北部农村孕妇的饮食多样化情况及相关因素。
共有647名孕妇参与，应答率为97.4%。发现孕妇的充足饮食多样化比例为31.4%[95%置信区间（CI）27.8 - 35.2]。谷物是最常食用的食物类别。孕妇的饮食多样化情况与母亲教育程度[调整优势比（AOR）= 2.36，95% CI 1.29，4.32]、财富指数（AOR = 1.85，95% CI 1.21，2.82）、营养信息（AOR = 2.51，95% CI 1.05，6.02）以及生产性安全网计划受益者（PSNP）（AOR = 1.7，95% CI 1.16，2.50）相关。研究区域内孕妇的饮食多样化情况较低。母亲教育程度、财富状况、拥有营养信息以及PSNP受益者是决定性因素。
