In India, where around 30 million pregnancies occur annually, a large proportion of women enter pregnancy malnourished 18% are underweight (BMI 18.5), 24% are overweight or obese, 52% are anemic, and 7% begin pregnancy as adolescents (NFHS-5, 2019). As per NFHS-5, anemia prevalence in Gujarat exceeds 62%, while 25% of women aged 15-49 years have a low Body Mass Index (BMI).
