Longitudinal study reveals seasonal effects on minimum dietary diversity in children, indicating urgent intervention needs.

Key Points

  • In June, the prevalence of inadequate dietary diversity reached 82.4%, the highest recorded in the study.
  • Factors like household size, rural residence, and maternal education were linked to low dietary diversity levels.
  • Addressing dietary diversity through targeted interventions is essential for improving child nutrition in low-income areas.
