A single burden was defined as the presence of any 1 of 3 predefined conditions. A double burden was characterized by the occurrence of 2 out of the 3 conditions, and a triple burden was defined by the simultaneous occurrence of all 3 conditions. Dietary quality was categorized by tertile (3 groups with equal proportions). Statistical significance set at P < 0.05.
Abbreviations: mRDT, malaria Rapid Diagnostic Test; MVPA, moderate to vigorous physical activity.
