Table 3. Summary of mother and child dietary diversity scores and proportion of individuals and pairs achieving minimum recommended dietary diversity.

A. Mothers and children	Wet season		Dry season
	Mean; median; range	Proportion (%) achieving threshold	Mean; median; range	Proportion (%) achieving threshold
Mothers	3.5; 3.0; 1–7	21.0	3.6; 4.0; 1–7	24.0
Children
6–11 months	1.5; 1.0; 0–3	0.0	1.4; 1.0; 0–3	0.0
12–17 months	2.4; 2.5; 0–4	7.1	3.0; 3.5; 1–4	50.0
18–23 months	2.8; 3.0; 0–5	37.5	2.7; 2.0; 1–5	28.6
24+ months	3.2; 3.0; 1–6	33.3	3.4; 3.0; 1–6	48.6
All children	2.8; 3.0; 0–6	24.2	3.1; 3.0; 0–6	42.2
B. Mother-child pairs		Proportion (%) of pairs
		Wet season		Dry season
Both mother or child met threshold		14		20
Only child met threshold		11		24
Only mother met threshold		8		3
Neither mother or child met threshold		68		53

The minimum recommended dietary diversity (“the threshold”) for children is 4 of 7 food groups, and for women of reproductive age is 5 of 10 food groups.
