Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women and Children
Minimum Dietary
Diversity –
Woman,children 6-23
months and Household
dietary diversity
Global Dietary Diversity Indicator
The FAO and FANTA convened a consensus meeting in July 2014 to select
a proxy indicator for Global use in assessing micro nutrient adequacy of
women’s diet
Indicators for assessing the Infant and young child
feeding practices – part 3
WHO, Unicef, IFPRI,FANTA, USAID, AED, UCDAVIS
Minimum Dietary Diversity –Woman is based on a
calculation based on 10 point food group score.
Women consuming foods from five or more
groups have a greater likelihood of meeting
their micro nutrient needs than women
consuming foods from fewer groups
Minimum Dietary Diversity –Women score
calculation
Percentage women receiving Minimum Dietary Diversity
Women 15-45 years of age who received foods from ≥ 5 food groups during the previous day
X 100
Total number of women interviewed
Minimum Dietary Diversity –Woman Food groups
Minimum Dietary Diversity –Woman is percentage of
women consuming at least 5 food groups out of 10 groups
Data collection on the basis of 24-
hour recall
Indicators are strongest when
consumption of trivial amounts
(<10g) of a food did not count in
Dietary Diversity score.
Response is collected from the target
sample : Women 15 – 49 years of age
Minimum Dietary diversity Children 6m to 23
months
•
Proportion of children who receive at least 4 food groups out of 7
groups
Children 6–23 months of age who received foods from ≥ 4 food groups during the previous day
Children 6–23 months of age
•
Sample universe for this indicator is the last born child 6-23 months
of age living with mother

Minimum Dietary Diversity –Woman; Data collection format
Methodology
Data collection on the basis of 24 hour recall
Indicators are strongest when consumption of trivial amounts (<10g) of
a food did not count in Dietary Diversity score.
Response is collected from the target sample : Women 15 – 49 years of
age OR 6m -23m children
All locally available food in each group has to be listed prior to the
survey
There will be seasonal variation of food so appropriate listing needs to
be done
MDD -W OR MDD- child cannot be done around festivals or special days.
An individual may have a different score during the lean periods
Survey may be segregated into intervention area & nonintervention
area.
Visit local shops to assess consumption of fortified food- Salt
Food consumed by 50% of the family will not be considered in HH DDS
Sample size and timeline
Target families OR
All Households OR
Random selection of families(10%)
At least thrice a year (seasonal)
Explore the concept of Minimum Dietary Diversity for women and children aged 6-23 months, focusing on food group scores, indicator calculations, and the importance of consuming foods from various groups to meet nutrient needs. Learn about the key food groups, data collection methods, and the significance of maintaining a diverse diet for optimal health outcomes.
