Poorly diversified diets resulting in inadequate micronutrient consumption may have adverse effects on their health. This narrative review summarizes the findings of studies reporting on dietary diversity and micronutrient intake by WRA in low\u2010 and middle\u2010income countries (LMICs). Studies on WRA aged 15\u201349\u2009years in LMICs, with a sample size of more than 150, report dietary diversity and multiple micronutrient intake based on 24\u2010h dietary recall\/food weighed record\/food frequency questionnaire, and published between January 2011 and June 2021 were included. The results were compared to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recommended cut\u2010off for dietary diversity and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) recommended age\u2010 and sex\u2010specific estimated average requirements (EARs) for micronutrient intake. This review includes 35 articles, of which 21 focused on dietary diversity and 14 on micronutrient intake. The results showed that WRA in LMICs had inadequate dietary diversity, with mean food group consumption of only 3.0\u20134.84, and around 42.3%\u201390% of women consumed inadequately diversified diets (&lt;5 food groups). Additionally, most studies found that WRA did not consume adequate amounts of essential micronutrients, particularly calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, and vitamin B\n                    <jats:sub>12<\/jats:sub>\n                    . However, the intake of vitamin C, niacin, and vitamin B\n                    <jats:sub>6<\/jats:sub>\n                    was above the required levels. In conclusion, this review highlights the common inadequacy of dietary diversity and multiple micronutrient intake among WRA in most LMICs. Effective measures involving improving dietary diversity, food fortification with micronutrients, and supplementation programs could help improve the dietary quality and intake of optimal micronutrients by women in LMICs.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/fsn3.3855","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,21]],"date-time":"2023-11-21T17:02:38Z","timestamp":1700586158000},"page":"1367-1379","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["A review of the dietary diversity and micronutrient adequacy among the women of reproductive age in low\u2010 and middle\u2010income countries"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7803-0985","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md.
