Prevalence and associated factors of undernutrition among children under the age of 5 years: a cross-sectional study in riverbank erosion areas of Bangladesh
The prevalence of stunting in this study was higher than that reported in the most recent Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2022. Child size at birth, sex, parental education, antenatal care visits and household livestock ownership were identified as significantly associated factors with undernutrition in riverbank erosion areas of Bangladesh.
