This study was conducted among women of reproductive age (15–49 years) in Sierra Leone, where lactating, postnatal, postmenopausal, and pregnant women in the age category were excluded from this population. The socioeconomic characteristics of women in the reproductive age of 15–49 years (n = 7,514) were described by the Sierra Leone Demographic Health Survey of 2019 (SLDHS-2019) (Table 1).
To our knowledge, this study is one of the first to provide evidence on a nationwide prevalence and factors associated with underweight among 15–49-year-old women of reproductive age in Sierra Leone (Tables 1, 2, Figs. 1, 2 and Table 3). To ensure optimum generalizability of our findings, we used a nationally representative data from the Sierra Leone Demographic Health Survey of 2019 (2019-SLDHS) [30] (Fig. 1).
