The OR indicates the estimated odds ratio of poor SRH, obtained from the logistic regression models to predict poor SRH by poverty and covariates (sex, age, and marital status). D denotes the number of deprivation in the dimensions in the subsequent parenthesis, where 1 = household income, 2 = education, 3 = social protection, and 4 = housing conditions. Rank indicates the ranking order of pseudo log likelihood.
