| Light | 1.31 | (0.77–2.23) |
| Moderate | 1.59 | (0.84–3.01) |
| Heavy | 2.47 | (1.25–4.88) |
| Malaria | 1.81 | (1.26–2.60) |
| A. lumbricoides | 1.52 | (0.99–2.35) |
| T. trichiura | 1.44 | (0.97–2.12) |
| Hookworm | 0.57 | (0.29–1.11) |
| Age | 1.32 | (0.997–1.74) |
| Female | 0.84 | (0.70–1.02) |
| S. mansoni infection | 1.7 | (1.03–2.80) |

Light = 1–99 eggs per gram (epg); moderate = 100–399 epg; Heavy = ≥ 400 epg.
Schistosoma mansoni infection and any soil-transmitted helminths (STH) infection are results from a model with these variables collapsed into binary outcomes.
