Abstract: Non-PR<br />IFPRI5; POSHAN; CRP4<br />PHND; A4NH<br />CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH)<br />Globally, it is recognized that multiple forms of undernutrition exist. Yet, little evidence exists on co-existence of multiple forms of undernutrition or on the potential shared determinants of these manifestations. Therefore, using data from India, we aimed to: 1) estimate the co-occurrence of undernutrition among children (stunting and anemia) and women (underweight and anemia); and 2) identify their shared determinants.
