Parity | 1.09 (0.88, 1.34) | 1.11 (0.83, 1.47) |
Household size | 1.04 (0.92, 1.17) | 1.12 (0.95, 1.32) |
Gestation (weeks) | 1.07 (0.98, 1.16) | 1.02 (0.91, 1.15) |
Water source (ref: non-improved)§ | 0.55 (0.30, 1.00) | 1.23 (0.49, 3.11) |
Taking IFA | 1.07 (0.64, 1.79) | 0.92 (0.45, 1.89) |

CI = confidence interval; Hb = hemoglobin; IFA = iron and folic acid; OR = odds ratio.
Categorical reference variables: non-improved (untreated) water source, not taking IFA, and non-improved sanitation facility. Continuous variables: parity and household size.
Hb < 110 g/L.
Hb = 70–99 g/L; excluding those women with no anemia, mild or severe anemia.
Improved: treated water supply; non-improved: untreated water supply.
Improved: closed pit latrine; non-improved: open defecation.
