In Bangladesh, ecological diversity, seasonal food availability, food insecurity, and unequal access to nutrient-rich foods contribute substantially to malnutrition among adolescent girls, particularly in climate-vulnerable coastal and inland regions. This PhD thesis investigated the associations between aquatic food environments, dietary patterns, micronutrient status, and nutritional outcomes among adolescent girls and women of reproductive age living in diverse ecological regions of Bangladesh. The research integrated evidence from southern coastal aquaculture zones and northern inland agricultural regions to explore how environmental and socio-behavioural factors shape nutrition and health outcomes. The findings demonstrated substantial seasonal and ecological variation in micronutrient deficiencies, dietary diversity, and anaemia prevalence. Vitamin D deficiency, iron deficiency, anaemia, and low urinary iodine concentration were highly prevalent among adolescent girls, with marked differences across salinity zones and seasons. Fish intake, including tilapia and small indigenous species, was positively associated with Omega-3 Index and improved vitamin D status, highlighting the nutritional importance of aquatic foods in adolescent diets. The thesis further showed that adolescent girls in northern inland areas experienced high levels of food insecurity, poor dietary diversity, and undernutrition. Across both ecological settings, inadequate access to micronutrient-rich foods remained a major challenge, particularly among socially and economically vulnerable populations. Together, these findings provide new evidence on how ecological conditions, seasonal variability, aquatic food systems, and socio-economic factors influence adolescent nutrition in Bangladesh. The thesis highlights the importance of context-specific, nutrition-sensitive interventions and reinforces the potential role of aquatic foods in improving micronutrient status and reducing undernutrition among adolescent girls and women in vulnerable settings. 2026, 201 pages.
