Analyses focusing on a single outcome may overlook the interdependence of these conditions and their geographic heterogeneity. This study aimed to disentangle the determinants of stunting and wasting among children under five years of age using a Bayesian bivariate spatial modelling framework. Data from 5,405 children inclu...
