Abstrakt: Introduction: Women’s Dietary Diversity is a popular method for evaluating dietary diversity among women who are of reproductive age. It can also be helpful in identifying macronutrient deficiencies in women. Objectives: This study was designed to determine the women dietary diversity score and the cardiometabolic risk factors of women in health in Saltillo Coahuila Mexico Method: Across sectional study was carried out among one hundred and twenty-one randomly selected women working in the hospital. A pre-validated questionnaire was used to obtain information on socio demographic characteristics and lifestyle of the subjects. Food and Agriculture Organization pre validated structured questionnaire on women dietary diversity score (WDDS) was used. Anthropometric characteristics such as weight, height, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio and Mid upper Arm circumference (MUAC) were determined using World Health organization standard and used to classify obesity and cardiometabolic risk. Hypertension was determined using Sphygmomanometer. MDD-W was classified into two levels of consumption for women: low if MDD-W < 5 and high if MDD-W ≥ 5. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software ver.25 and results were reported in frequency distribution, mean ± standard deviation and pie chart. Pearson’s correlation test was done to determine the significance of Dietary diversity with anthropometric indices and cardio metabolic risks. Results: The majority (52%) of the subjects were single, forty-five (45%) percent smoke cigarettes while 83% consume alcohol. Seventeen percent had low MUAC, 51% had abdominal obesity and twenty nine percent had hypertension stage 11. Most (97%) had high WDDS. Identified cardiometabolic risk were smoking, abdominal obesity and obesity. Conclusion: The women dietary diversity score of the subjects were high. The identified cardiometabolic risk factors among the participants were high. There is a critical and urgent need for nutrition and health education for the workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
