This study examines nutritional trends among adolescents in Bangladesh, revealing a transition where stunting rates are declining, but overweight and obesity are increasing. Malnutrition remains a challenge, especially in rural areas where dietary diversity is low. The report highlights gender disparities, with adolescent girls facing higher risks of anemia and food insecurity. Recommended interventions include school feeding programs, improved micronutrient intake, and delaying early marriage to enhance adolescent health outcomes.
