Determinants of minimum meal frequency among children in Kumbungu District of Ghana: a cross-sectional study
The proportion of children who received minimum meal frequency was high. Child age and minimum dietary diversity were significant determinants of minimum meal frequency. To achieve optimal minimum meal frequency for all children, mothers should be encouraged to practice age appropriate meal frequency, particularly, those with children aged 6-8 months as well as feed their children diversified diets.
