Description 7-12
Experts have suggested several community-based approaches to achieve a balanced diet, such as biofortification, food supplementation,
and dietary diversification. Among them, dietary diversification or dietary diversity is an easy and effective measure. The main objective of
this study is to demonstrate the utility of diet diversity by reviewing studies that aim to improve the quality of food through dietary diversity
and to investigate the relationship between the dietary diversity index and nutrient adequacy. Research papers published in the last 10 years
have been included in this study, sourced from various electronic data hubs. The collected papers were analyzed using the traditional review
method. This study shows a significant difference in the dietary diversity index in the intervention groups compared to the control groups.
Dietary diversity has been shown to have a linear relationship with the adequacy of micronutrients, while the coefficient correlated with
macronutrients was found to be neutral. The reviewed research articles suggest an in-depth study at the local level for the validation of dietary
diversity measurement methods and index standardization.
