*Univariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify associated factors of hepatitis A virus seropositivity among study participants. Covariate with P < 0.20 which was number of people sharing participant’s bedroom as well as the well-known prespecified confounding factors, including age, sex and body mass index were incorporated in the multivariable logistic regression analysis.
