In models 1–3, one SES marker (social caste, household wealth and education) was modelled at a time while adjusting for age, gender, religion and place of residence. In model 4, all SES markers were included along with covariates form models 1–3. In model 5, BMI was included with markers of SES and covariates from model 4.
