Abstract: Chronic malnutrition has a detrimental impact on children’s health. Bangladesh has made considerable progress on children’s underweight and wasting health issues over the past two decades. However, the existing prevalence of stunting remains a significant concern for child health. This study investigates the extent of different determinants of stunting status among children under the age of 5 in Bangladesh by using the 2017–18 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey data.
