Dietary diversity and anaemia are linked through research findings, such as the 2018 DHS survey [1] and a 2020 study [2], which identify dietary diversity as a key factor associated with anaemia prevalence in women. While dietary diversity is a significant correlate, it is noted as being insufficient on its own to fully explain regional variations in anaemia during pregnancy [3].
