Dietary patterns in Tanzania’s transitioning rural and urban areas
We identified two distinct dietary patterns: a "mixed pattern" prominent in urban and a "plant-rich pattern" more common in rural. Urban diets were more diverse with slightly higher energy intake. These findings underscore the effects of urbanization on diets and the need for targeted nutritional intervention for both rural and urban populations.
