| description | Key Findings:
-In Benin, undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are prevalent, and the prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing.
-Diets in Benin have declined in quality over time, particularly among children. For example, low dietary diversity and inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption are prevalent.
-Food-based dietary guidelines exist; however, awareness of the guidelines is unknown.
-Most nutrition policies in Benin lack guidance on promoting fruit and vegetable intake.
-Stronger evidence related to how to improve diet quality and combat malnutrition in Benin is needed to develop relevant interventions and policies. |
