Association of food crop diversity with prime diet quality score among women in rural Tanzania
| Prime diet quality score | ||
|---|---|---|
| Univariate1 | Adjusted model2 | |
| Food crop diversity score | 0.32 (0.19–0.44)*** | 0.47 (0.27–0.67)*** |
| Livestock diversity score | 0.27 (0.08–0.47)* | −0.07 (−0.38–0.24) |
| Women's participation in off-farm activities | ||
| Women's participation in nonfarm economic activities | 0.60 (0.22–0.98)** | 0.47 (−0.02–0.96) |
| Women's participation in wage/salary employment | 0.87 (0.43–1.32)*** | 0.96 (0.26–1.67)* |
| Market participation | ||
| Sold crops | 0.09 (−0.06–0.24) | −0.88 (−1.17−0.58)*** |
| Market food diversity score | 0.81 (0.29–1.32)** | 0.50 (0.06–0.94)* |
| Distance to market | −0.10 (−0.20–0.01) | −0.27 (−0.39–0.14)*** |
*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. Values are estimates (95% CIs). GEE linear models with exchangeable correlation, controlling for clustering by village pair, were used to evaluate the association of agriculture production diversity with maternal diet quality.
Univariate models are shown. Abbreviations: GEE, generalized estimating equation; HANU, Homestead Agriculture and Nutrition.
Adjusted model controls for treatment (HANU/control), maternal age (15–24 years, 25–34 years, ≥35 years), maternal education (none, primary, secondary, and higher), parity (0–2, ≥3), wealth index (quintiles), land size (acres), weekly income (log), livestock diversity score, women's participation in nonfarm economic activities, receiving wages or salary, household sold at least 1 food crop in last year, maternal BMI categories, and market food diversity score and distance to market.
