Model 1.uHR: Unadjusted hazard ratio
Model 2.aHR: Adjusted hazard ratio were estimated entering each community variable separately while adjusting for individual-level variables
Model 3.aHR: Adjusted hazard ratio were estimated with community – and individual-level variables entered simultaneously
All hazard ratios were estimated taking into account household sampling weight
