Abstract

Aim: Childhood wasting is a significant public health issue throughout the world, notably in developing countries. 8.4% of Bangladeshi young children under five years old are currently wasted, which has an effect on the country's overall public health outcomes. The study's aim was to determine childhood wasting among under five years old in Bangladesh. Methods: The study's dataset was obtained from the country-wide Bangladesh Demographic Health and Survey (BDHS) in 2017–2018. The study sample contained 30,830 under-five children. The associations between specific independent factors and nutritional status were assessed using chi-square tests, and the risk factors associated with early childhood wasting were found using binary logistic regression. Results: The majority of the children (51.6%) in the study's sample were male, and they resided in rural areas the most often. From 17% in 2007 to 8% in 2017, the frequency of childhood wasting has reduced over time. The study also discovered that mothers' overweight/obese and underweight body mass indices, as well as their relative age (24–35 months and 36–47 months), were risk factors linked to childhood wasting in Bangladesh. Conclusion: This study presents the significant risk factors for severe child wasting in Bangladesh. Countries that suffer from childhood malnourishment may use the findings of this study for further research.

Abstract

This study was an attempt to prove the Brahmi origin, evolution, expansion of history, significance, relationship with other writing systems, and alphabetical cultural heritage. This paper was aimed at clarifying the queries about Brahmi scripts using all current data. This study used qualitative, quantitative, statistical and past manuscripts and thinking methods. This study shows differences between northern and southern Brahmi in such things as language, country, people, vowels, and consonants: 25, 11, 1.06E+09, 233, and 677; but in next, 24, 11, 5.15E+08, 262, and 554respectively. Finally, this paper proves that the Brahmi script is well expanded in the northern scripts.

Abstract

Background: In Bangladesh, the percentage of children found moderately and severely underweight were respectively 16.4% and 3.6% all over the country in 2018. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and factors affecting childhood underweight<5 years old and identify socioeconomic inequalities contributing to childhood underweight in Bangladesh. Methods: Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey Data (2007, 2011, 2014 & 2017-2018) of 30,940 pairs were used for analysis. Chi-square tests were used to estimate the relationship between the independent variables chosen and underweight, binary logistic regression analysis was used to investigate potential risk factors, and decomposition analysis was conducted to assess inequality. Results: Binary logistic regression demonstrated that the children’s age, mother’s BMI, mother’s education level, father’s educational status, child delivery procedure, birth order of the child, recent diarrhea affectedness before the survey, sanitation, and wealth index were discovered to be essential variables affecting childhood underweight of children under 5 years old in Bangladesh.  Conclusion: The associated factors with underweight in this study should be considered when designing policies and programs, making it more effective to eradicate the underweight problem among children in Bangladesh.
