Table 4. Summary of individual kin effects on the mortality of reproductive women.

Effects of kin belonging to the extended natal and in-law families are only given (and printed in italics), if at least one model suggests that there is a significant (p<0.1) association.

Kin	Effect on the mortality of reproductive women		Interaction with SES1
	Kin is present in the parish	Kin is alive (not necessarily present in the parish)
Mother	Reduces mortality	Tend to reduce mortality	No
Father	No significant effect	No significant effect	-
Sisters	Increase mortality Effect is only suggested by the family-fixed-effect model versions	Strongly increase mortality Effect is only suggested by the family-fixed-effect model versions	Yes (effect of present sisters among the large-scale farmers substantially weaker)
Brothers	No significant effect	Decrease mortality	No
Daughters of maternal aunts	No significant effect	Decrease mortality Effect is only suggested by the family-fixed-effect model version	-*
Maternal uncles	No significant effect	Decrease mortality Effect is only suggested by the family-fixed-effect model version	-*
Daughters of maternal uncles	No significant effect	Decrease mortality when not present in the same parish Effect is only suggested by the clustered model version	-*
Sons of paternal uncles	No significant effect	Decrease mortality Effect is only suggested by the clustered model version	-*
Mother-in-law	Reduces mortality Effect is only suggested by the clustered model version	No significant effect	Yes, effect is stronger among the large-scale farmers
Father-in-law	No significant effect	No significant effect	-
Sisters-in-law	No significant effect	No significant effect	No
Brothers-in-law	No significant effect	No significant effect	-
Sons of sisters of the mother-in-law	Tend to decrease mortality Effect is only suggested by the family-fixed-effect model version	No significant effect	-*
Daughters of sisters of the mother-in-law	No significant effect	Increase mortality Effect is only suggested by the clustered model version	-*
Brothers of the mother-in-law	Tend to reduce mortality Effect is only suggested by the family-fixed-effect model version	Reduce mortality Effect is only suggested by the family-fixed-effect model version	-*
Sisters of the father-in-law	Increase mortality Effect is only suggested by the clustered model version	No significant effect	-*
Sons of sisters of the father-in-law	Increase mortality Effect is only suggested by the clustered model version	No significant effect	-*

¹—Socio-economic status

*—The results of the models investigating SES interaction of kin belonging to the extended families are bulky due to low sample size. An interpretation is therefore difficult. Please see also section 3.4
