Dietary diversity is an indicator of nutrition that has been found positively associated with diet quality, micronutrient adequacy, and improved maternal health and child growth. Due to the cultural responsibility of women in providing food at the household level, their status is very important to perform this role. Hence, this study has been conducted on the status of dietary diversity of the mother and child to understand how it relates to various factors of women in urban settings. Data were obtained from 1978 mother–child pairs living in different cities in Bangladesh. The foods taken by the women and children were categorized into 10 and 7 groups to measure women's dietary diversity (WDD) and children's dietary diversity (CDD), respectively. The study found that more than three-fourths of the mothers and half of the children had low dietary diversity. The household wealth holdings and access to resources by the women were found inadequate, while two-thirds of them had the lowest to medium level of nutritional knowledge. The binomial logistic regression model was used to measure the factors influencing WDD and CDD. The findings also indicated that children's dietary diversity was influenced by the mother's age, education, supportive attitude and behavior of husband, and access to and control over resources. While the household wealth index can enhance both child and mother's dietary variety, nutrition knowledge, dietary counseling, and access to and control over resources can improve maternal dietary diversity. This study recommends improving women's socioeconomic status by increasing their wealth and access to resources and enhancing their nutrition knowledge by providing food and nutrition counseling.

与孟加拉国城市地区儿童和母亲饮食多样性相关的因素



饮食多样性是营养指标,已被发现与饮食质量、微量营养素充足性以及改善孕产妇健康和儿童生长呈正相关。由于女性在家庭层面提供食物的文化责任,她们的地位对于履行这一角色非常重要。因此,对母子饮食多样性的状况进行了这项研究,以了解它与城市环境中女性的各种因素的关系。数据来自生活在孟加拉国不同城市的 1978 对母子。将妇女和儿童的食物分为 10 组和 7 组,分别测量女性膳食多样性 (WDD) 和儿童膳食多样性 (CDD)。研究发现,超过四分之三的母亲和一半的孩子饮食多样性较低。发现女性的家庭财富持有量和获取资源不足,而其中三分之二的妇女的营养知识水平处于最低到中等水平。采用二项式 logistic 回归模型测量影响 WDD 和 CDD 的因素。研究结果还表明,儿童的饮食多样性受母亲的年龄、教育程度、丈夫的支持态度和行为以及对资源的获取和控制的影响。虽然家庭财富指数可以提高儿童和母亲的饮食多样性,但营养知识、饮食咨询以及资源的获取和控制可以改善母亲的膳食多样性。本研究建议通过增加女性的财富和获得资源的机会来提高女性的社会经济地位,并通过提供食品和营养咨询来增强她们的营养知识。
