Sources of Food Affect Dietary Adequacy of Inuit Women of Childbearing Age in Arctic Canada
Dietary transition in the Arctic is associated with decreased quality of diet, which is of particular concern for women of childbearing age due to the potential impact of maternal nutrition status on the next generation. The study assessed dietary intake and adequacy among Inuit women of childbearin...
