Key element missed in nutrition policy: why does undernutrition not decline among pregnant women in Ethiopia?
Pregnancy is the most delicate stage in human life that requires high quality and several types of food to meet maternal and foetal nutritional demands. During pregnancy, food taboo is practised habitually by Ethiopian women, suggesting that they are affected by macro and micronutrient deficiencies. In Ethiopia, there is a greater magnitude of food taboo practices during pregnancy. This implies the need for attention to eliminating harmful cultural practices of food restriction during pregnancy from concerned bodies. Therefore, appropriate nutritional policies and strategies focusing on food taboos during pregnancy are crucial to counter maternal and foetal health problems related to nutritional inadequacy.
期刊介绍:
Health Research Policy and Systems is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, online journal that aims to provide a platform for the global research community to share their views, findings, insights and successes. Health Research Policy and Systems considers manuscripts that investigate the role of evidence-based health policy and health research systems in ensuring the efficient utilization and application of knowledge to improve health and health equity, especially in developing countries. Research is the foundation for improvements in public health. The problem is that people involved in different areas of research, together with managers and administrators in charge of research entities, do not communicate sufficiently with each other.
