Abstract
In Bangladesh, children aged 0-59 months are the subjects of this empirical study that looks into the prevalence of malnutrition and identifies contributing factors. Stunting, wasting, and underweight are a few indications used to evaluate the nutritional health of the kids. The association between sociodemographic variables and nutritional status is examined using a logistic regression model with sampling weight adjustments. The 2017 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), a nationally representative survey financed by UNICEF in Bangladesh, provided the data used in the study. The prevalence of stunting, wasting, and underweight is determined to be 36.6%, 8.6%, and 21.6%, respectively, among the 20,127 samples used in the study. Stunting and underweight are found to be more common in children between the ages of 24 and 35 months and 36 and 47 months, respectively, than they are in infants younger than 6 months. Wasting is observed to be less common in the 36–47-month age range and more common in children aged 12-23 months. According to the report, the Sylhet division has a higher prevalence of stunted and underweight children than other districts. Furthermore, the likelihood of being stunted, wasted, and underweight is reduced in female children, moms with higher levels of education, wealthy families, and prenatal patients. Children who live in metropolitan regions and come from affluent families, on the other hand, tend to be underweight. The study suggests that effective nutritional intervention measures be put into practice, as well as changes in household socioeconomic circumstances, maternal literacy, prenatal care availability, and maternal body mass index. The most vulnerable populations, including children from the most disadvantaged socioeconomic origins, those who live in cities, the Sylhet division, infants with lower birth weights, and mothers without a formal education, require urgent attention. These findings underscore the need for focused efforts to combat malnutrition in Bangladesh and offer insightful information for decision-makers.
