The nutritional requirement during adolescence reaches its peak. The present study aims to appraise the prevalence of undernutrition (stunting and thinness) and anaemia among adolescents (10\u201319 years) in India and the role of socioeconomic, individual-level hygiene behaviour and dietary diversity in nutritional outcomes. We have used the nationally representative Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey (CNNS-2016\u201318) that covers children and adolescents (0\u201319 years) in India. The prevalence of stunting, anaemia and thinness among adolescents was 27\u22c52, 28\u22c55 and 24\u22c51 %, respectively. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models were applied to estimate the likelihood of undernutrition. The likelihood of stunting was higher for late adolescence (OR 1\u22c521, 95 % CI 1\u22c515, 1\u22c527), low dietary diversity (OR 1\u22c537, 95 % CI 1\u22c526, 1\u22c549) and low hygiene behaviour compliance (OR 1\u22c553, 95 % CI 1\u22c542, 1\u22c564). Adolescents from the poorest quintile were more likely to be stunted (OR 3\u22c520, 95 % CI 2\u22c594, 3\u22c548), anaemic (OR 1\u22c566, 95 % CI 1\u22c547, 1\u22c587) and thin (OR 1\u22c568, 95 % CI 1\u22c554, 1\u22c582). We found that lower hygienic compliance was significantly associated with undernutrition and anaemia. Therefore, promoting hygienic practices should be emphasised to tackle undernutrition and anaemia. Furthermore, dietary diversity and poverty were strong predictors of stunting and thinness, therefore targeting the poor and focusing on improving dietary diversity should be the priority.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/jns.2023.19","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,9]],"date-time":"2023-03-09T11:50:01Z","timestamp":1678362601000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Undernutrition and anaemia among Indian adolescents: role of dietary diversity and hygiene practices"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Mukesh","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2421-9643","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pratap Chandra","family":"Mohanty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2048679023000198_ref28","unstructured":"28.
