Abstract

Background: Dietary diversity is defined as the consumption of a variety of food types throughout a time period that has been regarded as an indicator of nutritional sufficiency and has been accepted as a feature of dietary quality. However, there is limited information on the prevalence dietary diversity practice and associated factors among pregnant in low- income countries like Ethiopia including study area. Objective: - To assess the prevalence of dietary diversity practice and associated factors among pregnant mothers in Sebeta Awas district, Oromia Special Zone Surrounding Finfine, Oromiya, and Central Ethiopia, 2022. Methods: - Institutional based quantitative cross sectional study design was used among random sample of 639 pregnant mothers living in four selected health centers of Sebeta Awas District. Study participants were recruited by every forth interval. Data was collected using a pre-tested - structured interviewer administered questionnaires after obtaining consent from study participants. Multivariate logistic regression model to control for all possible cofounders were used to analyze the data. Odds ratios along with 95% confidence intervals was estimated to measure the strength of the association between independent variables and outcome variable. Level of statistical significance was declared at p value less than or equal to 0.05. Result: About 269 (42.1%) [95% CI=38.5-46.2] of pregnant women had good dietary diversity practice. Being married (AOR=3.44; 95%CI: 1.47, 8.05), being college and above (AOR=0.44; 95%CI: 0.21, 0.8), monthly income greater than 5,000 ETB, starting ANC visit at 1st trimester (AOR=0.43; 95%CI: 0.19, 0.99), were the predictor variable for good ditry diverse practice. Conclusion: This finding shows that the majority of study participants consumed below the minimum dietary diversity. Marriage, education, occupation of husband, household head, level of income, time of ANC started, had a positive significant with pregnant mothers’ dietary diversity.
