Influence of Socioeconomic Factors and Nutritional Advice on Diet Quality in Women of Reproductive Age: A FIGO-DQS Assessment
Better food choices (OR = 1.73; 95% CI: 1.16-2.51), higher knowledge level (OR = 1.66; 95% CI: 1.119-2.466), and healthcare advice (OR = 1.70, 95% CI: 1.119-2.466) increased the chances of having a better diet. Both healthcare providers (β = 0.503, <i>p</i> = 0.018) and determinants of food choices (β = 0.520, <i>p</i> = 0.011) had a significant influence on the FIGO score, although the advice provided by the healthcare professionals did not yield a significant influence on the determinants of food choices (β = 0.310, <i>p</i> = 0.125); Conclusions: Knowledge had a mediator effect on the impact of healthcare guidance on nutrition practices, but it does not fully explain the adherence to healthy lifestyle choices.
