Construction and validation of the area level deprivation index for health research: A methodological study based on Nepal Demographic and Health Survey.

Area-level factors may partly explain the heterogeneity in risk factors and disease distribution. Yet, there are a limited number of studies that focus on the development and validation of the area level construct and are primarily from high-income countries.
