LOG log transformation. Light gray values in the univariable model indicate that these factors were not significant (p < 0.20) in the univariable model. In the multivariable model p-values which are significant with p < 0.05 are black and bold, 0.05 < p < 0.10 are black and p > 0.10 are light gray. Significant interactions are listed where applicable. All models were corrected for the country effect by adding country in the model as a fixed variable. Only relevant variables are listed
