In Bangladesh, nearly half of the children under five suffer from malnutrition, with higher rates in rural areas. This study aims to identify factors linked to malnutrition in children in a rural area of the Mymensingh district, Bangladesh.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross\u2010sectional study involved face\u2010to\u2010face interviews with 500 mothers using a questionnaire.

Bivariate analysis (Chi\u2010square test) showed that age, mode of delivery, intake of vitamin A capsules, and mothers' educational status significantly impacted malnutrition (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Multivariate binary logistic analysis using WHZ, HAZ, and WAZ scores revealed that male children were more prone to malnutrition than females, and mother's education played a major role in child nutrition. As children age, their susceptibility to malnutrition increases. Factors such as C\u2010section delivery, timely intake of vitamin A capsules, family income, mother's employment status, and regular consumption of nutritional foods significantly influence child malnutrition.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Bangladesh government must take proactive measures to address child malnutrition by prioritizing female education and well\u2010being.
