Determinants of minimum dietary diversity for lactating and pregnant women
The study provides insights into factors influencing MDD among PLW in northern Bangladesh. Empowering women and promoting climate-smart techniques for agriculture emerged as pivotal determinants, alongside enhancing education levels, increasing food security, and addressing economic barriers. Implementing multifaceted interventions that consider socio-demographic diversity, economic disparities, and dietary preferences is crucial for enhancing dietary diversity and improving health outcomes in this vulnerable population.
