Shifting dietary pattern and rapid increase in overweight\/obesity among adults with persistent child undernutrition indicate that India is experiencing nutrition transition and double burden of malnutrition.

The analytic sample consists of 28,817 weighted mother-child pairs where an overweight\/obese mother is paired with an undernourished child. The nutritional status of children is defined according to WHO 2006 child growth standards as underweight (i.e., low weight-for-age), stunting (i.e., low height-for-age) and wasting (i.e., low weight-for-height). Maternal overweight\/obesity (i.e., BMI \u2265 25 kg\/m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) is defined using adult BMI criterion.
