Key Points
Over half of pregnant women showed inadequate hemoglobin response to iron-folate supplementation, indicating a need for review.
Significant associations found: early ANC booking increased hemoglobin response by nearly 3.9 times among participants.
A quasi-experimental longitudinal study was conducted in Addis Ababa with 410 pregnant women using systematic sampling.
Addressing factors such as dietary diversity and iron-folate intake duration may help reduce anemia during pregnancy.
