Key Points

The study aims to describe energy and nutrient intakes of mother-father dyads in urban and rural Ghana using wearable camera technology.
Cross-sectional study design with purposive convenience sampling of 60 households in Ghana.
Both parents wore the Automatic Ingestion Monitor (AIM-2) to objectively record dietary intake over multiple days.
Data on household characteristics collected via questionnaire alongside BMI measurements.
No significant differences in mean energy and nutrient intakes between mothers and fathers overall.
Rural mothers had higher caloric, vitamin A, and zinc intakes compared to fathers, while fathers had higher iron intakes.
The prevalence of overweight/obesity was significantly higher among mothers than fathers in both urban and rural households.
