Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess the prevalence of inadequate micronutrient intake and its risk factors among women one year after giving birth. 240 women of reproductive age were assessed. Micronutrient intake was assessed from two 24-hour records at three stages (3-6-12 months after childbirth). A generalized linear mixed-effect model was used to assess the factors associated with food intake. A prevalence of inadequate micronutrient intake was observed, with the exception of iron. Intake was lower among food-insecure women (zinc: β -0.13; iron: β -0.09; vitamin C: β -0.44). The postpartum period and food insecurity remained statistically associated with lower food consumption in the explanatory models tested.
