摘要：
Uptake of antenatal care (ANC) is poor in Nigeria; however, there are geographical variations. We investigated the relationship between place of residence, region and ANC utilization in Nigeria. Using data of the most recent demographic and health survey, the geographic predictors of ANC were modeled. Women in the rural areas were 79% less likely to have the recommended four ANC visits. The odds of a woman in southern Nigeria having four ANC visit are 4.347 times the odds of a woman in northern Nigeria having the recommended ANC visit. We recommend increased coverage of maternal health services.
