This study aimed to assess the dietary diversity and its associated factors among pregnant women in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2021. An institution-based Cross-sectional was conducted among 320 participants from four health facilities in Addis Ababa selected based on a simple random sampling method from 01 September to 30 December 2021. An Interviewer-administered structured questionnaire was used, following informed consent. Binary (Bivariate and multivariate) logistics regression was applied for the identification factors associated with dietary diversity with their respective 95% confidence interval and less than 5% -value. The prevalence of inadequate dietary diversity during pregnancy was 51.6% (95% CI: 46.1%-57.0%). Being illiterate (AOR: 0.591; 95% CI: 1.88-1.901; ) and primary education (AOR: 0.347; 95% CI: 0.166-0.728; ), having poor knowledge (AOR: 0.437; 95% CI: 0.252-0.757; < 0.05) and lower monthly income (AOR: 0.395; 95% CI: 0.184-0.845; ) were factors associated with inadequate dietary diversity. A higher level of inadequate dietary diversity was reported. Being illiterate, having primary education, having poor knowledge, and having lower monthly income were associated with inadequate dietary diversity during pregnancy. Concerned bodies were suggested to work on the identified factors.
本研究旨在评估2021年埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴孕妇的饮食多样性及其相关因素。采用基于机构的横断面研究方法，于2021年9月1日至12月31日从亚的斯亚贝巴的四个卫生机构中，通过简单随机抽样选取320名参与者。在获得知情同意后，使用由访谈员管理的结构化问卷。采用二元（双变量和多变量）逻辑回归分析与饮食多样性相关的因素，并给出各自的95%置信区间和小于5%的P值。孕期饮食多样性不足的患病率为51.6%（95%置信区间：46.1%-57.0%）。文盲（调整后比值比：0.591；95%置信区间：1.88-1.901；P值）和小学教育程度（调整后比值比：0.347；95%置信区间：0.166-0.728；P值）、知识水平低（调整后比值比：0.437；95%置信区间：0.252-0.757；P<0.05）以及月收入较低（调整后比值比：0.395；95%置信区间：0.
