Dietary diversity has a significant impact on children's nutritional health. For developing and implementing interventions, it is critical to understand the regional distribution of dietary diversity and underlying factors. However, the application of spatial techniques in dietary studies has not been well documented. The study's goal was to look into the regional variances and factors that influence children's dietary diversity. Further, we have discussed the spatial correlation of dietary diversity with nutritional status.
