Infection as a function of remoteness

OR (95% CI)
E. coli Rotavirus Giardia Diarrhea
Remote 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00
Medium 3.0 (0.8, 11.9) 1.3 (0.5, 3.2) 1.2 (0.7, 2.0) 1.8 (1.1, 3.0)
Close 3.9 (1.1, 13.6) 4.1 (2.0, 8.4) 1.6 (1.0, 2.4) 1.8 (1.2, 2.6)
Continuous 8.4 (1.6, 43.5) 4.0 (1.3, 12.1) 1.9 (1.3, 2.7) 2.7 (1.5, 4.8)

OR of infection/disease for individuals in communities that are classified as close or medium from Borbón as compared with those communities that are classified as far (remote). The continuous measure is the OR comparing the farthest with the closest using a continuous measure of remoteness. Estimates were adjusted for age of individual, population size of village, and community-level sanitation.
