Description
Feiruza Mohammed and three co-authors study diet range among pregnant women at clinics in Puntland, Somalia. Poor range in diet harms mothers and newborns, yet proof from Somalia was thin. They surveyed more than three hundred women on foods eaten from ten food groups.
Near half ate too narrow a diet. Risk ran higher for women with many prior births, few clinic visits, few meals a day, and homes short on food. Town or country life and large homes mattered less once other traits were checked. Food aid and clinic reach are key levers, they say.
