Undernutrition among Pregnant Women in Rural Communities in Southern Ethiopia

Solomon Zewdie et al.

Summary: This study assessed the prevalence of undernutrition and associated factors among pregnant women in a rural community in southern Ethiopia. Unintended pregnancy and not participating in Women's Health Development Army meetings were independent predictors of undernutrition, while consuming a diversified diet, having antenatal care visits, being older during first pregnancy, and coming from food-secure households were independent protective factors against undernutrition. Recommendations for interventions include discouraging teenage and unintended pregnancy, reducing household food insecurity, promoting antenatal care visits, and encouraging diversified diets for women. Strengthening the Women's Health Development Army network is also crucial.
