| Abstract: | Background: Maternal undernutrition remains a critical public-health concern in India, with varying regional disparities. The Nashik region, a rapidly urbanizing district of Maharashtra, continues to report nutritional vulnerabilities among pregnant women. Objective: To assess the dietary patterns, anthropometric indicators, and biochemical nutritional status of pregnant women in the Nashik region and identify determinants of poor maternal nutrition. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 320 pregnant women, selected using multistage sampling. Data collection included a structured dietary questionnaire, 24-hour dietary recall, anthropometric measurements (weight, BMI, MUAC), and biochemical markers (hemoglobin, serum iron, ferritin, and calcium). Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression were used. Results: Almost half of the participants (47.5%) were underweight based on MUAC. Anemia prevalence was 62.1%, with 28.7% exhibiting moderate to severe anemia. Micronutrient deficiency was common: low serum iron (42.8%), low ferritin (37.2%), and hypocalcemia (23.1%). Dietary assessment revealed inadequate intake of green leafy vegetables (68%), fruits (72%), and protein-rich foods (54%). Low socioeconomic status and inadequate dietary diversity were significantly associated with anemia (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Nutritional vulnerabilities remain widespread among pregnant women in Nashik, with high anemia and micronutrient deficiencies. Strengthening supplementation programs, improving dietary diversification, and targeted counseling are essential to improve maternal outcomes. |
