Spatial distribution and factors associated with co-occurrence of anemia and undernutrition among children aged 6–59 months in East Africa

The study highlights significant geographic disparities in the co-occurrence of anemia and undernutrition, with multiple maternal, child, and household factors contributing to the burden. These findings emphasize the need for region-specific public health interventions and future longitudinal research should explore additional confounders and refine regionally tailored approaches.
