Women who live in developing countries face a risk of undernutrition during pregnancy as a result of poverty, poor diet quality and quantity, and a high fertility rate. This poor dietary problem could reflect the high risk of vitamin A deficiency in women. The present study aimed to determine the adequacy of vitamin A among pregnant women following antenatal care in health facilities of Dessie Town, Ethiopia, January 2017.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Health facility\u2010based cross\u2010sectional study was conducted among 390 women who attended antenatal care in Dessie Town. Food groups from the Food and Agriculture Organization based on 24\u2010h dietary recall were used to measure dietary intake of vitamin A and dietary diversity of women. Adequacy of vitamin A was determined from the nutrient adequacy ratio after obtaining reports of nutrient intake from food composition tables version III and IV in terms of B carotene and retinol equivalent, respectively, based on the estimated average requirement recommendation of vitamin A, 370\u00a0retinol equivalent day\n                      <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                      for pregnant women.

Its requirement is greater during pregnancy and its deficiencies lead to maternal and child mortality and development. The dietary intake of vitamin A among pregnant women remains below the current recommendation.\n                      <jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Inadequate intake of vitamin A<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Pregnant women<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Heath facility<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                        <jats:list-item>\n                          <jats:p>Dessie, Ethiopia<\/jats:p>\n                        <\/jats:list-item>\n                      <\/jats:list>\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jhn.12766","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,18]],"date-time":"2020-05-18T21:30:02Z","timestamp":1589837402000},"page":"678-685","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Dietary vitamin A intakes among pregnant women attending antenatal care in health facilities in Dessie Town, North East Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Z.","family":"Koricho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dessie College of Health Science Dessie Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.
