Factsheet-2: Nutrition Status of Children and Mothers: Evidence from NDHS 1996-2022

Nutrition is pivotal in improving health and accelerating development. It has been linked to enhanced health outcomes, strong immune systems, safer pregnancy and childbirth experiences, and a reduced risk of non-communicable diseases. To investigate the nutritional trends of children and mothers, and identify disparities across social strata including economic class & education status of mothers, we conducted a retrospective analysis using data from six nationally representative surveys: Family Health Survey/ Nepal Demographic Health Survey from 1996 to 2022.
