Overview

Cross-sectional study assesses nutritional knowledge and dietary practices in pregnant women, highlighting gaps in application.

Key Points

  • Majority of pregnant women (62%) showed good nutritional knowledge, indicating a strong understanding of maternal nutrition.
  • Significant associations between knowledge score and factors like residence, income, and husband's education were found, impacting dietary choices.
  • Despite a foundation of nutritional knowledge, a notable gap exists in applying this knowledge to make informed dietary choices.
  • This highlights the need for enhanced education and support to help pregnant women convert knowledge into practical health benefits.
