Findings revealed that the prevalence of coexisting forms of undernutrition is 19.44%, and the majority of them were from the Sylhet division.

Children from lower wealth indices and those living in urban areas are at higher risk of coexisting forms of undernutrition.

The odds of having coexisting forms of undernutrition are 1.2 and 1.4 times greater (95% CrI: 0.953, 1.553 and 1.103, 1.790) for children from the poorer and poorest households compared to children from middle wealth families and 0.8 and 1.7 times higher (95% CrI: 0.600, 1.145 and 1.405, 2.191) for children whose birth order is at least six and who are older than 23.9 months.
