Prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies (A) and insufficiencies (B) of women expecting to become pregnant in Ghana (n = 98). Cutoffs used to define deficiency and insufficiency, respectively: 25-hydroxyvitamin D <30 nmol/L and <50 nmol/L (vitamin D); adjusted zinc <66 µg/dL and <70 µg/dL; adjusted retinol <20 µg/dL and <30 µg/dL (vitamin A); copper <70 µg/dL and <90 µg/dL (n = 97); and adjusted ferritin <15 µg/L and <20 µg/L. Adjustments were done using correction factors from references 37–39.
