Estimated mean difference compares the estimated difference in outcomes between counterfactual scenarios in which individuals did not versus did experience a food need from the time of first food need assessment to the specified time point, using a longitudinal targeted minimum loss estimation approach. A negative value indicates an association with estimated benefit.

LDL = Low Density Lipoprotein.

CI = Confidence Interval.
