世界卫生组织建议孕妇补充铁和叶酸（IFA）。尼日尔孕妇中贫血症的高发率要求更好地了解产前保健和IFA的利用情况。我们的目的是评估孕妇中ANC覆盖率和遵守IFA建议的流行率及其相关因素。在尼日尔津德尔进行基线家庭调查期间，对12个卫生中心集水区内64个随机选择村庄的孕妇（n=923）进行了访谈。ANC和IFA覆盖率分别为60.1%和43.6%。只有71.7%参加产前护理的妇女获得了产前护理。据报道，在401名接受任何IFA补充剂的妇女中，99.3%在当前怀孕期间参加了任何ANC，68.6%报告坚持推荐的IFA补充剂（即，在前一周每天消耗IFA）。胎龄27周的妇女比胎龄27周的妇女更有可能参加ANC
The World Health Organization recommends iron and folic acid (IFA) supplementation for pregnant women. The high prevalence of anaemia among pregnant women in Niger warrants better understanding of the utilization of antenatal care (ANC) and IFA. We aimed to assess the prevalence of and factors associated with ANC coverage and adherence to IFA recommendation among pregnant women. Pregnant women (n=923) from 64 randomly selected villages within the catchment area of 12 health centres were interviewed during a baseline household survey in Zinder, Niger. ANC and IFA coverage were 60.1% and 43.6%, respectively. Only 71.7% of women who attended ANC received IFA. Of the 401 women who reportedly received any IFA supplements, 99.3% had attended any ANC during their current pregnancy and 68.6% reported adherence to recommended IFA supplementation (i.e., consumed IFA every day in the previous week). Women with gestational age 27weeks were more likely to have attended ANC than women with gestational age
