Brief Summary  
This research examines the association between food preferences, socioeconomic status (SES), dietary diversity, and nutrient intake adequacy among college students in Mumbai. College students are at a pivotal stage for establishing dietary habits, yet they often face unique challenges that may affect their nutrition, such as limited budgets, access to food, and personal food choices. This study seeks to understand how food preferences and SES influence dietary diversity, which refers to the variety of foods consumed, and how these factors together impact the adequacy of nutrient intake among students. By assessing these relationships, the research aims to identify potential nutritional gaps and highlight factors that may contribute to an imbalanced diet in this population. Ultimately, findings could inform public health strategies, suggesting ways to support healthier dietary patterns and adequate nutrient intake for students in urban settings like Mumbai.
