AB  - Recognising the importance of infant and young child feeding practices during the 
      first 2 years of life, the World Health Organization's Global Nutrition 
      Monitoring Framework developed a minimum dietary diversity (MDD) indicator for 
      feeding children aged 6-23 months. MDD is defined as the consumption of food 
      items from five or more groups out of a total of eight food groups. Food intake 
      from less than five food groups is considered minimum dietary diversity failure 
      (MDDF). Using the nationally representative National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 
      dataset, the present study assessed the trend in MDDF between 2005-6 and 2015-16 
      and the factors associated with MDDF among children aged 6-23 months during 
      2015-16. The NFHS conducted in 2005-6 and 2015-16 covered a sample of 14 419 and 
      74 078 children aged 6-23 months, respectively. Overall, the MDDF reduced from 
      87⋅4  % (95  % confidence interval (95  % CI) 86⋅8  %, 87⋅9  %) in 2005-6 to 
      80⋅6  % (95  % CI 80⋅1  %, 81⋅0  %) in 2015-16. Multivariable logistic regression 
      analysis revealed that increased child's age, second and third birth order 
      children, higher maternal age and education, mass media exposure of mothers and 
      more than four antenatal care visits had a negative association with the MDDF. 
      Children living in rural areas and residing in high-focus states of India were 
      observed with higher odds of experiencing MDDF. Exposure to community healthcare 
      services was negatively associated with MDDF, and anaemic children were more 
      likely to have MDDF. Socioeconomic status of mothers and children and 
      encouragement of maternal and child healthcare use could be helpful in devising 
      context-specific intervention to mitigate MDDF.
