Background: Menstrual health is critical for women of reproductive age. It is also evident that menstrual disorders have contributed to the increasing burden of non-communicable diseases.
Objective: To our knowledge, no literature review explicitly addresses the prevalence, risk factors, and health-seeking behaviour of menstrual disorders in India.

- The study focused on child feeding practices in urban slums in Pune, India, finding significant inequalities based on sociocultural and maternal characteristics.
- Key findings showed that only 42% of mothers initiated complementary feeding on time, with very low percentages meeting dietary diversity, minimum acceptable diet, and meal frequency criteria established by WHO.
- Determinants impacting these practices included mother's age, education level, birth spacing, and socio-economic status, highlighting that better socio-economic conditions improved feeding practices.
Background: This study characterized undernutrition among children (0-24 months) by age groups specified for Infant and Young Child-feeding (IYCF) and determined the association between child malnutrition and IYCF.
Methods: This cross-sectional survey recruited mother-children dyads (N = 1443). WHO standards were used to assess nutritional status and IYCF indicators.
