Dietary Intake and Nutrient Adequacies among Women of Reproductive Age in Northern Tanzania: A Cross-Sectional Study

Addressing these gaps requires targeted interventions, improved dietary diversity, increased intake of F&V and ASF, and enhanced food security through local production and social safety nets.
