Anemia model included 1913 children >2 years of age, malaria model included 2309 children and 878 mothers, urinary schistosomiasis model included 2094 children and 894 mothers, and model for geohelminth infections included 2085 children.

Note that none of the variables tested for mothers was significantly associated with anemia or with geohelminth infection.
