Introduction: Maternal and child health, which is integral to public health, depends on maintaining a healthy diet during pregnancy and lactation to achieve optimal outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and determinants of minimum dietary diversity (MDD) among pregnant and lactating women (PLW) in this particular context.Methods: A stratified cluster sampling approach was employed, encompassing intervention areas (Rangpur and Nilphamari in Bangladesh) as strata, with 30 clusters. The study included 631 pregnant and lactating women (PLW) aged 15 to 49 years, focusing on their consumption of a minimally diverse diet. The outcome variable was binary: MDD (1=if they consumed ≥ 5 food items from a basket of 10 food groups, indicating they met the MDD; 0=if they consumed &lt; 5 items, indicating they did not meet the MDD), assessed based on ten food groups over a 24-hour period. The data were analyzed using a binary logistic regression model.<br>
