Abstract

Diet quality among children in stunting-prevalent areas remains suboptimal, especially for fruits, vegetables, and dairy. Younger children had better diet quality, underscoring the need for interventions beyond early complementary feeding. Strategies should improve access to diverse, nutrient-rich foods and reduce reliance on processed products.
