Prenatal multiple micronutrient supplementation in the Parepare district, Indonesia: population characteristics and intake adherence

Micronutrient deficiencies among pregnant women remain highly prevalent in low and middle-income countries. Multiple micronutrient supplementation (MMS) has proven more beneficial than standard iron-folic acid supplementation in reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes. Limited data on adherence to MMS in pregnant women in programmatic settings is available. Therefore, our study aims to assess adherence to the recommended intake of a multiple micronutrient supplement (UNIMMAP-MMS) in relation to demographic characteristics alongside a community-based MMS program.
