Almost two-thirds of 6- to 24-month-old children in rural Chatmohar, Bangladesh, had consumed sugar-sweetened food in the last day. This is a high and concerning prevalence, and the associated factors identified in this study should be investigated further to identify potential areas of intervention to decrease the prevalence of child sugar consumption in Bangladesh.
