Dietary diversity and associated factors among pregnant women in Ethiopia: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dietary diversity (DD) is the consumption of a variety of different and healthy foods that promote an adequate supply of nutrients, a high-quality diet, and the maintenance of optimal health. It is critical to identify the factors that influence pregnant women's eating habits so that relevant interventions can be developed. We estimated the pooled odds ratio of appropriate dietary practices to identify factors that affect the dietary practices of pregnant women.

Methods

We conducted an electronic-based systematic search for observational studies conducted in Ethiopia and published in English. We retrieved published articles up to the last search date on 1 July 2022, from databases, including the Web of Science, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, CINHAL, and HINARI.
