Double burden of malnutrition (DBM) is a growing concern, which refers to the coexistence of undernutrition and overnutrition within the same population. The recent increase in the prevalence of overweight and existing prevalence of underweight among Bangladeshi women clearly indicates the advent of a double burden of malnutrition in Bangladesh. Womens nutritional status is extremely important for a nation because it affects not only their own health but also the health of their children. Both undernutrition and overnutrition have the potential to make women vulnerable to various adverse health conditions as well as adverse obstetric experience and poor birth outcome. It is a timely need for policymakers of this country to come up with specific interventions for both undernourished and overnourished women considering all these factors.

This study unveils the effect of DBM among Bangladeshi women.These findings suggest that DBM not only affects the womens health but also the health of their children, which is alarming.Therefore, concerned stakeholders should stress on this issue and provide imperative intervention to overcome this problem.Findings of this study will offer a strong insight to the policy makers and will help them to set target specific and focused public health interventions accordingly.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk memahami mekanisme biologis yang mendasari hubungan antara gizi ganda dan hasil kesehatan yang buruk pada wanita Bangladesh. Studi intervensi yang menargetkan peningkatan status gizi wanita selama siklus hidup mereka, termasuk periode pra-kehamilan, kehamilan, dan pasca-persalinan, sangat penting untuk mengidentifikasi strategi yang efektif untuk mengurangi beban gizi ganda. Selain itu, penelitian kualitatif yang mengeksplorasi faktor sosial, budaya, dan ekonomi yang berkontribusi terhadap gizi ganda di Bangladesh dapat memberikan wawasan berharga untuk merancang intervensi yang sesuai dengan konteks budaya dan dapat diterima oleh masyarakat. Penelitian ini harus melibatkan partisipasi aktif dari komunitas lokal dan pemangku kepentingan untuk memastikan keberlanjutan dan dampak jangka panjang dari setiap program yang diimplementasikan.
