Maternal dietary diversity and dietary quality scores in relation to adverse birth outcomes in Tanzanian women.

CONCLUSIONS: PDQS was inversely associated with PTB, LBW, and fetal loss, and DDS was inversely associated with SGA. These findings suggest that in addition to dietary diversity, diet quality should be considered as important in understanding dietary risk factors for poor birth outcomes.This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT00197548.
