Abstract

Dietary diversity indicators can serve as a proxy for diet quality and some have shown an association with nutrient adequacy at the individual level; it is positively correlated with indicators of micronutrients adequacy in several types of study. The main objective of the study is to examine the nutrient adequacy ratio and its relationship with the individual dietary diversity score in the rural area of Uttar Pradesh, India. The relationship between individual dietary diversity score and nutrient adequacy was assessed with and without the minimum quantity food groups intake restriction. Data was collected through the 24 hours dietary recall schedule and dietary diversity questionnaire by applying of 24 hours recall method in the randomly selected 491 individuals. Individual dietary diversity score measured by the nine food groups system, suggested by Food and Agriculture Organization, US. An analysis of the relationship with sixteen nutrients was assessed through the MS excel data analysis functions. Iron and niacin intake had a positive and moderate correlation with individual dietary diversity scores and a weak positive correlation with calcium, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin-A, potassium, zinc, protein, vitamin-C, folates were found with no minimum quantity intake of the food groups. A negative correlation between sodium, phosphorus, and magnesium intake; there was no correlation noted with fat and energy. After fixing the minimum intake quantity of the food groups, the relationship between the dietary diversity score and the nutritional accuracy was strengthened; the association of iron and niacin with IDDS (Individual Dietary Diversity Score) was shown to be strong after applying minimum 15 grams intake quantity of the food groups.
