  abstract = {{O}bjectives: {T}o compare dietary diversity scores measured over a 1-day and a 3-day period, and to assess their relationships with socio-economic characteristics and the nutritional status of rural {A}frican women. {D}esign: {A} qualitative dietary recall allowed calculation of a dietary diversity score ({DDS}; number of food groups consumed out of a total of nine). {B}ody mass index ({BMI}) and body fat percentage ({BFP}) were used to assess the nutritional status of women. {S}etting and subjects: {A} representative sample of 550 mothers in north-east {B}urkina {F}aso. {R}esults: {T}he {DDS} increased from 3.5 to 4.4 when calculated from a 1-day or a 3-day recall ({P} < 0.0001), although for the latter the {DDS} was affected by memory bias. {T}he {DDS} calculated from a 1-day recall was higher when a market day occurred during the recall period. {B}oth scores were linked to the sociodemographic and economic characteristics of the women. {W}omen in the lowest {DDS} tertile calculated from the {I}-clay recall had a mean {BMI} of 20.5 kg m(-2) and 17.7% of them were underweight, versus 21.6 kg m(-2) and 3.5% for those in the highest tertile ({P} = 0.0003 and 0.0007, respectively). {T}he {DDS} calculated from the 1-day recall was also linked to mean {BFP}; all these links remained significant after adjustment for confounders. {F}or the 3-day period, no such relationships were found to be significant after adjustment. {C}onclusion: {T}he {DDS} calculated from a 1-day dietary recall was sufficient to predict the women's nutritional status. {I}n such a context attention should be paid to market days.},
