Does a geographical context explain regional variation in child malnutrition in India?

Conclusion The findings suggest that both spatial effect and morbidity, including individual and household factors have significant impact on malnutrition among children. Understanding these relationships can facilitate design of intervention programs. Clearly tackling the problem of malnutrition in India will require multisectoral interventions, targeted at all levels of social organization.
