Objective: Underweight, wasting and stunting are crucial malnutrition indicators responsible for morbidities among children. Data regarding coexisting forms of malnutrition (CFM) are scarce. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of CFM across two survey years among under-5 Bangladeshi children. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Data were acquired from two rounds of Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS), Bangladesh conducted in 2012–13 and 2019. Subjects: The analysis included 43 946 (2012–13: 20 885; 2019: 23 061) under-5 children. Results: Binomial proportion test, slope index of inequality and multinomial logistic regression models were used for analysis. The prevalence of CFM was 27·45 % and 18·56 % in 2012–13 and 2019, respectively. A significant decrease in the prevalence of CFM was seen across the surveys ( P -value P -value P -value Conclusion: The findings of this study should help the researchers and policymakers to understand CFM more clearly and plan prospective studies to explore CFM outcomes. Targeted interventional approaches are needed among parents of rural communities to control the burden of CFM
