Does living in slums or non-slums influence women's nutritional status? Evidence from Indian mega-cities

► One in every two women in mega-cities is malnourished (either undernourished or overnourished). ► Overnutrition is higher among non-slum women whereas underweight is a key concern among slum dwellers. ► Income inequalities in underweight and overweight are higher in non-slum and slum areas respectively. ► Controlling for key factors, place of residence has no significant bearing on women's nutrition. ► Simultaneous prevalence of under and overnutrition suggests for a comprehensive urban nutritional plan.
