“…The data collection procedures follow a hierarchical nature where subjects are nested into households. In this study, we applied two different methods for random sampling between urban and rural areas, because these areas have different geographic and sociodemographic characteristics [19]. In the urban area, we applied an occupation-based randomization technique to represent the population.…”

“…Consequently, we would not be able to include a wide variety of people in samples and are likely to suffer from selection biases. Therefore, we implemented randomization and sampling based on occupations to include a variety of households, i.e., even those who reside in slum areas through the channels of local NGOs or some organizations [19,20]. With this technique, first, we computed the proportion of each occupation on the basis of previous reports by governmental authorities in Bangladesh [21].…”

Food intake inequality at the individual level is rarely analyzed in intrahousehold settings. We examine dietary diversity scores of household members with a focus on their family roles (fathers, mothers, sons, daughters and grandparents) and age groups (children, adults and elderly). Whereas theory suggests that members in a household should have equal dietary diversity by receiving a certain share of available foods, this research hypothesizes that they do not do so by their roles and/or age groups. We conduct questionnaire surveys, collecting sociodemographic information and dietary data by using a 24 h recall method of 3248 subjects in 811 households from 1 urban and 2 rural areas in Bangladesh. The statistical analysis demonstrates three findings. First, poor and rural people have lower dietary diversity than nonpoor and urban people, respectively. Second, grandparents (children) have lower dietary diversity than do fathers (adults), confirming the existence of intrahousehold food intake inequality by the roles and/or age groups, irrespective of poverty level and areas of residence. Third, father and mother educations are crucial determinants that raise the dietary diversity of household members; however, they do not resolve the inequality. Overall, it is suggested that awareness programs of dietary diversity shall be necessary with a target group of fathers and mothers for the betterment of intrahousehold inequality and health at the household level, contributing to sustainable development goals.
