Assessing Contributory Factors of Diarrhea Among Under‐Five Children in Bangladesh From 2006 to 2019 and Recent Increases: A Cross‐Sectional Study
Underweight status, geographical division, household wealth status, and unimproved and shared toilet facilities emerged as contributing factors of diarrhea among children aged 0-5 years. The findings underscore the importance of child nutrition, basic hygiene practices, and special care during the rainy season to mitigate the under-five mortality rate associated with diarrhea.
