Note: OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval. An asterisk represents a p value of ≤ 0.05

^aThe final multivariable logistic regression model was built using a backward stepwise regression procedure.

^bThe reference group consisted of subjects of a younger age.

^cThe reference group consisted of subjects belonging to households where LPG was not used as a source of cooking fuel.

^dThe reference group consisted of subjects who did not report inaccessibility as a primary barrier to seeking formal care.
