Following is a response from Senior Data Specialist, Ladys Ortiz:

Following is the list of variable used for the calculation of the Minimum Acceptable Diet table.


Table 11.6 Minimum acceptable diet

groupa = given( V411 ) + given( V411A ) + given( V414V ) + given( V414P ); { milk group }
groupb = given( V412A ) + given( V414E ) + given( V414F ); { grains, roots, tubers }
groupc = given( V414I ) + given( V414J ) + given( V414K ); { vitamin A rich fruits and vegetables }
groupd = given( V414L ); { other fruits and vegetables }
groupe = given( V414G ); { eggs }
groupf = given( V414M ) + given( V414H ) + given( V414N ); { meat, poultry fish }
groupg = given( V414O ); { legumes and nuts }

allgrp = ( groupa > 0 ) + ( groupb > 0 ) + ( groupc > 0 ) + ( groupd > 0 ) +
( groupe > 0 ) + ( groupf > 0 ) + ( groupg > 0 );

allgrp1 = ( groupb > 0 ) + ( groupc > 0 ) + ( groupd > 0 ) + { excludes milk products (group a) }
( groupe > 0 ) + ( groupf > 0 ) + ( groupg > 0 );

totmilkf = 0;
if V469E in 1:7 then totmilkf = totmilkf + V469E endif;
if V469F in 1:7 then totmilkf = totmilkf + V469F endif;
if V469X in 1:7 then totmilkf = totmilkf + V469X endif;

{ define minimum feeding times for breastfeed children }
box M4 : months : M39 => minfeedb;
95 : 6-8 : 2-7 => 1; { for currently breasfed children }
95 : 9-23 : 3-7 => 1;
: : => 0;
endbox;


for currently breastfeeding:
allgrp >= 4 { Minimum dietary diversity }
minfeedb { Minimum Meal frequency }
allgrp >= 4 & minfeedb { Minimum acceptable diet }

For not currently breastfeeding:
totmilkf >= 2 { milk or milk products given 2+ times }
allgrp >= 4 { Minimum dietary diversity }
minfeedb { Minimum Meal frequency }
allgrp1 >= 4 & totmilkf >= 2 & minfeedn { Minimum acceptable diet }

For all children breastfeeding and none-breastfeeding
M4 = 95 | totmilkf >= 2 { breastmilk, or milk products given 2+ }
allgrp >= 4 { Minimum dietary diversity }
minfeedb | minfeedn { Minimum Meal frequency }

M4 = 95 & minfeedb & allgrp >= 4 | { IYCF for non-breasfed children } { Minimum acceptable diet }
M4 <> 95 & allgrp1 >= 4 & totmilkf >= 2 & minfeedn then { IYCF for breasfed children }
