תקציר	The Maternal Diet Quality Index (MDQI) is a composite measure of maternal nutrition that evaluates diet quality during pregnancy and postpartum using a scored framework. Adapted from general population dietary quality indices, the MDQI emphasizes nutrients critical for fetal development and maternal health: folate, iron, calcium, protein, and micronutrient-rich foods. Use in research and clinical nutrition assessment to characterize maternal diet quality and its associations with pregnancy outcomes and lactation.	The HDDS is a simple, 12-item food group checklist that captures the diversity of the household diet in the preceding 24 hours. Developed by the FAO in 2011 as a proxy indicator of dietary quality and nutrient adequacy, the HDDS enables rapid assessment of the nutritional vulnerability of households in resource-limited settings. A household with access to foods from many groups is more likely to consume adequate calories, protein, and micronutrients.
