Declarations
:
: All authors certify that they have no affiliations with or involvement in any organization or entity with any financial interest or non-financial interest in the subject matter or materials discussed in this manuscript.
: No ethical approval was required for this study as it was based on secondary analysis of data obtained from the seven Bangladesh DHS conducted in 1999-2000, 2004, 2007, 2011, 2014, and 2017-18. The data were completely anonymous, and this study used data with no identifiable information on the survey participants. However, a request to access datasets was made through the Measure DHS website, which granted permission before the analysis was conducted.
