Abstract: Studies in low-and middle-income countries where nutrition transition is underway provides mixed evidence of the double burden of maternal overnutrition and child undernutrition among mother-child pairs. Shifting dietary patterns and rapid increase in overweight/obesity among adults with persistent child undernutrition indicate that India is experiencing nutrition transition and double burden of malnutrition. Hence, the study explores the presence of and the factors associated with mother-child dyads of over-and undernutrition in India.
