Summary
Background: Maternal nutrition plays a fundamental role in pregnancy outcomes, fetal development, and long-term offspring health. Inadequate nutrient intake and micronutrient deficiencies during gestation contribute to complications such as preterm birth, low birth weight, and maternal morbidity. Despite growing awareness, deficiencies in key nutrients such as iron, calcium, and vitamin D remain prevalent, particularly in resource-limited settings. Understanding the impact of maternal dietary patterns and nutrient status on fetal growth and neonatal health is essential for improving pregnancy care and reducing adverse outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the dietary intake, micronutrient deficiencies, and anthropometric measurements of pregnant women and assess their associati
