  1. Legend: cOR Crude Odds Ratio; aOR Adjusted Odds Ratio; CI Confidence Interval; bold = statistically significant p-value < 0.05; MDD Minimum Dietary Diversity; MMF Minimum Meal Frequency; MAD Minimum acceptable diet
  2. 1 Bivariate logistic regression was performed for each variable independently and results are reported as odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval
  3. 2 Multivariate logistic regression models were performed for each IYCF variable independently to avoid collinearity and adjusted for potential confounders in 2019 and 2021: child age, head of household education level and income source, and agroecological zone
  4. 3 MMF was missing for 723 and 616 children in 2019 and 2021, respectively
  5. 4 MAD was missing for 265 and 213 children in 2019 and 2021, respectively
