Notes: Data from CHNS 1991–2011; bold values denote statistical significance at p < 0.05

Model 1 included age and age-squared, indicator variables representing survey year, and age and age-squared interacted with survey year

Model 2 layers on individual level covariates (occupation, weight status, marital status, education and including number of kids for female to model 1

Model 3 layers on household socio-economic measures such as household income, household size, household ownership and urbanization index to model 1

Model 4 includes the full set of variables
