Dietary diversity, adequate vitamin A-rich food consumption and their associated factors among lactating mothers in South Ethiopia: a food frequency questionnaire-based study
Nearly half of the lactating mothers in the study area achieved the minimum dietary diversity; family size, meal frequency, home gardening, postnatal care and food security were factors significantly associated. Almost one-fourth of the mothers consumed adequate vitamin A-rich food; educational status, antenatal care follow-up and home gardening were significantly associated with it.
