Dietary diversity scores do not yield quantitative information on dietary intake or nutrient adequacy. Working Group on Infant and Young Child Feeding Indicators, (2006). The dietary diversity indicator used in the analysis was created using data from the 7-d recall of foods/food groups available in the MEASURE DHS+ surveys. While there is consensus around the significance of dietary diversity, there are multiple approaches to measurement with varied food groups and recall periods (Table 1). 0000006751 00000 n "From the first hour of life", Joshi et al., (2011). Measures of dietary diversity are relatively simple and were shown to be associated with nutrient adequacy and nutritional status. 0000006472 00000 n Dietary diversity indicators can be constructed using a specific module relevant to that dietary diversity indicator (e.g. While a number of studies have examined the association between household food security and child nutritional sta-tus [9, 12, 19], very few used household dietary diversity as an indicator of household food security. It can be measured at the household or individual level through use of a questionnaire. Change in women's diet diversity over the year with COVID-19. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) defines dietary diversity as the number of food groups an individual consumes over the past 24-h [23].

The MDD is also a component of the Minimum Acceptable Diet (MAD) indicator, which is a composite indicator. Household dietary diversity Score (HDDS) is a qualitative measure of food consumption that reflects household access to a variety of foods. Additionally, 37% and 2.4% of the respondents were in the medium (4-5 food groups) and low dietary diversity tercile (3 food groups) respectively. 4%(;D>+(]n[vfo^ ?f={9w= ` B,p m%@'E:ZRqmQ";+]-?V,_xlB;^-7#7#m!IRh*dgQf=m'+2[k_`^wSaF+%3_TT|.{JvV^_/[qPj%:yu>'|P The minimum dietary diversity (MDD) score for children 6-23 months old is a population-level indicator designed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to assess diet diversity as part of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices among children 6-23 months old. Dietary diversity is described as the consumption of various food types such as vegetables, fruits, grains, tuber, meat, and dairy product during a given time. This indicator is one of eight IYCF indicators developed by the WHO to provide simple, valid, and reliable metrics for assessing IYCF practices at the population level (WHO, 2008). In general, FFQs rely on a longer recall period in order to capture foods that are not consumed every day but are still part of the individuals typical diet. 0000003654 00000 n Evidence suggests that dietary diversity promotes nutrient. DD is thought to reflect the adequate intake of essential nutrients either at the The MDD indicator can be constructed, as other dietary diversity measures, from a short Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) style module administeredto the childs caretaker, usually as part of the IYCF module. In addition, the various dietary diversity scores can be constructed from existing data, as long as the recall period is aligned. Dietary diversity calculated using FS 24hr showed a negative association with height-for-age Z-scores showing that the HAZ score was higher in adolescents with high dietary diversity than in adolescents with moderate dietary diversity. 0000000611 00000 n Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) is an index for evaluating whole dietary intake [7] and is associated with a higher intake of macro and micro-nutrient, better diet adequacy, and higher fiber. For more precise population measures of nutrient adequacy by age/sex groups individual-level data from 24-hour Dietary Recalls or Weighed Food Records should be used. Measures both minimum dietary diversity and minimum meal frequency. Food consumption modules of Household Consumption and Expenditure Surveys (HCES) that use a food list and an extended recall period can also be considered a type of FFQ. The data cleaned, coded . Scoring and analysis of the information collected with the questionnaire is straightforward. Simple indicators reflecting diet quality for young children are needed both for programs and in some research contexts. It reflects the idea that. According to dietary guidelines, balanced diet should have 50-60% of total calories from carbohydrates, about 10-15% from proteins and 20-30% from fats (NIN, 2011 ). The dietary diversity score, developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, is a qualitative 24-hour recall of all the food and drinks consumed by the respondent (if measured at individual level) or any other household member (if measured at household level) [ 21 ]. 197 0 obj << /Linearized 1 /O 199 /H [ 850 718 ] /L 180598 /E 20319 /N 54 /T 176539 >> endobj xref 197 19 0000000016 00000 n in PFD as well as to describe a method for indexing dietary diversity (DD) in children with PFD. 0000004145 00000 n dietary diversity and nutritional adequacy are related to each other but they are different in their constructs. 6@> PFg`3[@@@6P>HI!@B`GxPQRR:DI+O2:h%S830H}!!

"Indicators for assessing infant and young child feeding practices (Part 1 Definitions)", WHO, (2010). However, these measures of usual intake are a more valid indicator of the relationship between diet and health outcomes than those capturing only a single 24-hour snapshot of the diet (24-hour Dietary Recalls can only provide information on usual intake if data are collected from respondents on multiple non-consecutive days). It is one of the biggest fresh Challenge.

However, selection can rarely maximise individual ability to cope with all challenges, and trade-offs therefore emerge. Variation in an individual's diet is associated with the intake of adequate energy and essential nutrients; increasing variety in ones diet is recommended in most dietary guidelines globally (Ruel, 2003). Dietary diversity is especially important among populations with diets based on starchy staples where micronutrient deficiency is more likely (Ruel, 2003). (1998) demonstrated a strong correlation of diversity of fruits and vegetables with overall nutrient adequacy and with specific nutrients such as vitamins A and C. The indicator has been extensively validated and shown to be associated with micronutrient adequacy of the diet in multiple countries and contexts (Arimond et al., 2010; Moursi et al., 2008).

Some potential data sources include Household Consumption and Expenditure Surveys (HCES), Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) & Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), or Food Frequency Questionnaires. Adolescents in the age of 13-17 years old included in the analysis. It is important to understand the similarities and differences between these two (Torheim et al., 2004). These types of surveys are usually repeated in a given country every three to five years. Dietary diversity score is most often determined by counting the number of selected food groups consumed by a household or individuals over a reference period, which usually ranges between 1-3 days, and in some cases extends to 7 days or even to 15 days [9,23,24]. Studies have shown that an increase in dietary diversity is associated with socio-economic status and household food security (household energy availability) (Hoddinot and Yohannes, 2002; Hatloy et al., 2000).

Discuss when dietary diversity data should be collected 3. Dietary diversity scores are not direct measures of consumption and not all have been validated as proxy measures of nutrient adequacy. Dietary diversity is about taking varieties of food item and reflected as a proxy measure of micronutrient adequacy [1,3]. Please note:A recent development has led to a new dietary diversity indicator, the Minimum Dietary Diversity-Women (MDD-W), to replace the Womens Dietary Diversity Score (WDDS). The Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) Program has been supported by USAID for over 30 years (DHS, 2018). Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS) is the number of unique food groups consumed by household members over a given period.

The eight food groups included in the questionnaire are: The total number of food groups consumed is summed. Local knowledge about the importance of dietary diversity recorded is well-aligned with scientific findings: participants' emphasis of the role of dietary diversity for appetite, over its importance for vitamin and mineral intake or other nutrition-related health outcomes, was likely due to the fact that vitamins and minerals are concepts . At the individual level, dietary diversity indicators can serve as a proxy for diet quality and some have shown an association with nutrient adequacy. "Indicators for assessing infant and young child feeding practices: Part 3 Country Profiles", United Nations International Childrens Emergency Fund, (2016). For more precise population measures of nutrient adequacy by age/sex groups individual-level data from 24-hour Dietary Recalls or Weighed Food Records should be used. Household dietary diversity, defined as the number of unique foods consumed by household members over a given period, has been validated to be a useful approach for measuring household food access, particularly when resources for undertaking such measurement are scarce. The dietary diversity scores for the respondents were therefore estimated using information collected from the 24-hour dietary recall (FAO, 2007). On average, a 1% increase in dietary diversity is associated with a 1% increase in household per capita consumption, a 0.7% increase in household per capita caloric availability, a 0.5% increase in household 3) A minimum dietary diversity of 5 out of 8 food groups fed during the day or night preceding the survey: a) Breastmilk b) Grains, roots and tubers c) Legumes and nuts d) Dairy products (infant formula, milk, yogurt, cheese) e) Flesh foods (meat, fish, poultry and liver/organ meats) f) Eggs g) Vitamin A rich fruits and vegetables Different foods contain different vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and phytochemicals. Household dietary diversity has been shown to be associated with caloric and protein adequacy and household income (Swindale & Bilinksy, 2006). Boston, MA 02111 | +1 (617) 636-3737. Household dietary diversity Score (HDDS) is a qualitative measure of food consumption that reflects household access to a variety of foods. More than 320 surveys in over 90 countries have been conducted since the programs inception, gathering information on select nutrition indicators, as well as fertility, reproductive health, maternal health, child health, immunization, HIV and AIDS, maternal and child mortality, malaria, and other indicators (Fabic et al., 2012).

For the food diversity indicator, we used the DVS developed by Kumagai et al. %PDF-1.2 % Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia, Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa. Usual frequency of intake is prone to measurement error, particularly with recall periods longer than seven days (and usual portion size questions are prone to measurement error), If the FFQ is too long it can be more time consuming to administer than a standard, Like most surveys, to capture seasonal variation data collection must span the entire year or be repeated in multiple seasons. u}~%Gqs+v~YjBv.;ezoe+>wt!>oUUMJ**D2VT`fo!I-u^YbJ/@629~sfb8CJ+P? Some potential data sources include Household Consumption and Expenditure Surveys (HCES), Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) & Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), or Food Frequency Questionnaires. The associations of maternal dietary diversity and diet quality, using Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDDW) and Prime Diet Quality Score (PDQS), with gestational weight gain (GWG) and birth outcomes among women enrolled in a trial in Tanzania support continuing efforts to improve maternal diet quality for optimal GWG and infant outcomes. As a simple and easy to interpret indicator, the MDD is appropriate for population-level targeting, monitoring and assessment, and target setting.

The Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) program is the largest household survey program on children and women worldwide. Indicators of dietary diversity are considered to be useful as measures of impact for programs designed to address nutrition through agricultural pathways. The new indicator reflects consumption of at least five of ten food groups (see the chart on the next page), and can be generated from surveys. provides protein, vitamins, dietary ber, and other nutrients. 2022-12-18 0500 Taste Of Diversity Taste Of Diversity Series 1 Ep 4 Ukrainian cuisine is a jewel of Eastern Europe, from dishes like borscht to Perogies. The dietary diversity score (DDS) of the lactating mothers was measured by using 24 hours dietary recall following the guidelines on minimum dietary diversity for women (MDD-W) developed by FAO and FANTA Project, and it is comprehensively defined elsewhere . A single point was awarded to each of the food groups consumed over the reference period giving a maximum sum total dietary diversity score of 12 points for each . Research has shown that the ability of child dietary diversity scores to represent micronutrient adequacy could be improved by either imposing consumption minimums or by assigning different weights to the food groups based on nutrient content (Gewa et al., 2014).

Similarly, an association was found between HAZ and low dietary diversity in Koraput, and when the two . A drawback is that recall bias may increase with longer periods of recall (Coates et al., 2012). Dietary diversity can be defined as the number of different foods or food groups consumed over a . Background and aims: Dietary diversity change is associated with cognitive function, however, whether the effect still exists among the oldest-old (80+) is unclear. {kBlx(88^?$#X %?

However, this indicator cannot be used to compare populations with different rates of continued breastfeeding, nor can it be used to compare the same population over time if rates of breastfeeding have changed (WHO, 2008). a !1AQa"q2B#$Rb34rC%Scs5&DTdEt6UeuF'Vfv7GWgw(8HXhx )9IYiy When FFQs do include questions about quantity consumed it is typically based on standard portion sizes, rather than direct weight or use of household utensils. Dietary diversity is related to nutrient intakes and is also an indicator of dietary quality. The data collected can also be analyzed to provide information on specific food groups of interest. Dietary diversity Food frequency data were used to calculate dietary diversity at the household level and the 24-hour diet recall data were used to calculate individual dietary diversity.

Several specific food consumption indicators can be calculated with DHS and MICS data (USAID, 2017; UNICEF, 2018), including: DHS and MICS are designed to be nationally representative, with typical sample sizes ranging from 5,000 to 30,000 households. Measures "usual" household consumption; Standardized food group weights are used to construct index. 0000006817 00000 n Individual dietary diversity indices, specifically the Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) and the Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD) for children 6-23 months, have been shown to be a rough proxy for diet quality and nutrient adequacy (FAO & FHI, 2016; Moursi et al., 2008). In regard to 0000005249 00000 n Variation in an individual's diet is associated with the intake of adequate energy and essential nutrients; increasing variety in ones diet is recommended in most dietary guidelines globally (Ruel, 2003). One advantage of the MDD is that it is simple to collect, tabulate, and interpret, and is applicable across socio-cultural contexts. a. FFQs are often limited to the food items that are a source of nutrients related to the particular dietary exposures under study, for example, fruit and vegetable consumption or foods with high levels of saturated fat.

The MDD only reflects the complementary feeding diet, not breastfeeding status; the MAD should be used if the objective is to measure both breastfeeding status and complementary feeding (WHO, 2008). Dietary diversity was assessed using the Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) indicator. A study conducted on women's dietary diversity in Bangladesh Table 4 depicts the food groups consumed by 50% of (Arimond et al., 2009) [8], revealed that most commonly consumed respondents by medium and high dietary diversity in Rajshahi food groups by Bangladeshi women were starchy staples; meat, District. Dietary diversity indicators can be constructed using a specific module relevant to that dietary diversity indicator (e.g. Thank you, Prabha Adhikari!. Household Dietary Diversity Indicator Guide for Measurement of Household Food Access, v.2 2 A more diversified diet is highly correlated with such factors as caloric and protein adequacy, percentage of protein from animal sources (high quality protein), and household income. Therefore the criterion for MDD changed from 4 of 7 groups to 5 of 8 groups. Role of Market Access. It measures in a snapshot form, The mean dietary diversity score (DDS) was 3.61.1. Amaranth in Nepal. However, the procedures for the assessment of Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS) remain unchanged. Child dietary diversity has been shown to be positively associated with mean micronutrient adequacy of the diet (FANTA, 2006). Dietary Diversity - Women (MDD-W). J Nutr Health Sci 3(3): 303. doi: 10.15744/2393-9060.3.303 Volume 3 | Issue 3 Journal of Nutrition and Health Sciences A secondary data was used to assess the association between dietary diversity and nutritional status of adolescents in Jimma Zone, Southwest Ethiopia. Dietary diversity is especially important among populations with diets based on starchy staples where micronutrient deficiency is more likely (Ruel, 2003). Household Dietary Diversity module, MDD module for children from 6-23 months). FFQs typically collect information on the frequency of consumption but not necessarily on the quantity consumed. The guideline describes the use of the dietary diversity questionnaire at the household level. Dietary diversity (DD) relates to nutrient adequacy (coverage of basic needs in terms of macro and micro nutrients) and to diet variety/balance, which are two of the main components of diet quality. It is also easily disaggregated into smaller age groups, including 6-11 months, 12-17 months, and 18-23 months (WHO, 2008). Most often it is measured by counting the number of food groups rather than 0000002926 00000 n II. Because food lists are developed with a specific population in mind, it can be difficult to accurately compare results across populations (cultures or countries) with different dietary patterns. Dietary diversity can be measured at either the household or the individual level and higher scores represent a more diverse diet.

The household dietary diversity score (HDDS) is meant to reflect, in a snapshot form, the economic ability of a household to access a variety of foods. Indicators of dietary diversity are considered to be useful as measures of impact for programs designed to address nutrition through agricultural pathways. Thus, the MDD can be useful in capturing a population-level picture of infant and young child diet quality and appropriate complementary feeding practices (FANTA, 2014). Dietary diversity is defined as the number of individual food items or food groups consumed over a given period of time (Ruel, 2003). To nutritiously and sustainably feed 9 billion people by 2050 without causing additional resource depletion and damage to our planet. Consumption of more diverse diets is one of the many approaches to improve the . 96 Saint Louis, Senegal; R.Elnamaky@cgiar.org (R.E.-N.); More generally, dietary diversity modules are frequently included as short modules in multi-purpose household survey questionnaires. A significant drawback of the household-level indicators is that scores do not provide information on whether the household dietary diversity is shared equally by all individual members of the household.

The other seven indicators are: early initiation of breastfeeding; exclusive breastfeeding under 6 months; continued breastfeeding at 1 year; introduction of solid, semi-solid, or soft foods; minimum acceptable diet; minimum meal frequency; and consumption of iron-rich or iron-fortified foods. "Indicators for assessing infant and young child feeding practices (Part 2 Measurement)", WHO/UNICEF (2017). A 24-h dietary recall was used to collect diet data and to calculate the MDD-W and the nutrient intake. that the effect on dietary diversity diminishes, probably because foregone benefits from specialization become more relevant for farms that are already highly diversified. FFQ recall periods vary greatly, but typically range from 7 to 30 days (although some are as long as one year). A more diversified diet is associated with a number of improved outcomes in areas such as birth To easily assess the dietary diversity of a population, a practical tool was developed: the Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) (7). Copyright 2015 - 2022 International Dietary Data Expansion, Design by Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy Web and Communications, Indicators for assessing infant and young child feeding practices, WHO, (2008). The household dietary diversity score described in the guideline consists of a simple count of food groups that a household has consumed over the preceding 24 hours. 24-hour Dietary Recall) (Coates et al., 2012). Tools a. Overview There are a number of DDS currently in use that have been validated against other methods. The Spearman rho correlation test revealed a positive correlation (r= 0.184, p=0.028) between BMI categories and dietary diversity . Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ) are a type of dietary assessment instrument that attempts to capture an individuals usual food consumption by querying the frequency at which the respondent consumed food items based on a predefined food list. Individual dietary diversity indices, specifically the Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) and the Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD) for children 6-23 months, have been shown to be a rough proxy for diet quality and nutrient adequacy (FAO & FHI, 2016; Moursi et al., 2008). between dietary diversity and household food access as well as correlation coefficients, contingency tables and Receiver Operator Curves. While there is consensus around the significance of dietary diversity, there are multiple approaches to measurement with varied food groups and recall periods (Table 1). The dietary diversity of participants was assessed following standard guidelines for meas-uring individual dietary diversity by the FAO [23]. Dietary diversity was found to serve as a proxy indicator to assess and predict the intake of micronutrients (4,5,6). Organisms face numerous challenges over their lifetimes, including from competitors and parasites, and experience selection to maximise their fitness in the face of these various pressures. The mean dietary diversity score was 6.84 1.46 SD. Dietary Diversity is the variety of foods or food groups in a person's or house is one way to assess the nutritional quality or adequacy of diets and reflects acc lena Gerace 3 hold's diet. %PDF-1.4 % From adversity to #diversity in law firms. This change is reflected for MDD and MAD in the Data4Diets platform. 6 Our general approach was to develop a score that included a point for each of the major nutritionally important types of food the child may have eaten, while providing some balance between . Ten food groups, listed in S2 Table, were included in the DDS. From the dietary intake assessment, seven categories of food were found: cereals and cereal-based products, legumes and legume-based products, starchy roots and tubers, fruits and vegetables, meat and fish products, eggs and egg products, and milk and milk products. Bone health was measured using quantitative ultrasound and assessed by the speed of sound (SOS). 0000001818 00000 n An unprecedented global alliance for productive, climate-resilient and protable wheatagri-food systems in lower and middle-income "(($#$% '+++,.3332-3333333333 The Concept of Dietary Diversity Consuming a diverse, or varied, diet has overall improved nutrition outcomes (Arimond & Ruel, 2004) and is gener-ally considered good for one's health by the medical com-munity (Stein, 2018).

In addition, the various dietary diversity scores can be constructed from existing data, as long as the recall period is aligned. which the dietary diversity was determined. The population-level indicator is calculated based on the following formula: For more information on calculating this indicator, refer to the WHO measurement guidelines (WHO, 2010). Adobe d C Get in touch Similarly, there are a number of studies on individual dietary diversity . Longer FFQs can better assess total diets, but shorter FFQs have higher response rates and lower respondent burdens (Thompson & Subar, 2013). However, dietary diversity also tends to increas Dietary diversity scores are not resource-intensive and are generally easy to calculate and use.
