  abstract = {{W}omen of reproductive age living in resource-poor settings are at high risk of inadequate micronutrient intakes when diets lack diversity and are dominated by staple foods. {Y}et comparative information on diet quality is scarce and quantitative data on nutrient intakes is expensive and difficult to gather. {W}e assessed the potential of simple indicators of dietary diversity, such as could be generated from large household surveys, to serve as proxy indicators of micronutrient adequacy for population-level assessment. {W}e used 5 existing data sets (from {B}urkina {F}aso, {M}ali, {M}ozambique, {B}angladesh, and the {P}hilippines) with repeat 24-h recalls to construct 8 candidate food group diversity indicators ({FGI}) and to calculate the mean probability of adequacy ({MPA}) for 11 micronutrients. {FGI} varied in food group disaggregation and in minimum consumption required for a food group to count. {T}here were large gaps between intakes and requirements across a range of micronutrients in each site. {A}ll 8 {FGI} were correlated with {MPA} in all sites; regression analysis confirmed that associations remained when controlling for energy intake. {A}ssessment of dichotomous indicators through receiver-operating characteristic analysis showed moderate predictive strength for the best choice indicators, which varied by site. {S}imple {FGI} hold promise as proxy indicators of micronutrient adequacy. {J}. {N}utr. 140: 2059{S}-2069{S}, 2010.},
