The assessment of dietary diversity score and associated factors among pregnant women of Batu district, Southern Ethiopia, 2021: a community-based cross-sectional study.

The prevalence of unmet minimum dietary diversity scores among pregnant women was found to be high. Moreover, low dietary diversity was linked to pregnant women with no formal education, multigravida, having more than five family members, male-headed households, and being poor by household wealth. As a result, nutritional diversity education should be prioritized, and health experts should provide guidance on dietary diversity and family planning services.
