      abstract = {This report finds that many women and children in rural  Bangladesh are undernourished  in households in which their  male head of household is adequately nourished, based  on  an analysis of the Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey.  The survey covered  household food consumption and  expenditure for a given 7 days and individual-level   consumption for a given 24 hours (2011 to 2012).  Quantitative assessments of food secu­ rity for each type  of data found that, if only household-level data were used,  a signifi­ cant number of women and children were  misclassified as receiving adequate nutrition  because  calories in a household previously were assumed to be  equitably distributed.  These findings suggest that  intrahousehold data can contribute to the identification   of undernourished populations, particularly women and  children. Such identification,  with the objective of  improving nutritional status, is of particular interest to  the U.S.  Government’s interagency Feed the Future  initiative. },
