a—Significant difference in percentage vitamin A EAR (weighted) met by consuming vitamin A fortified edible oil when comparing urban and rural low performing household members (p <0.05)
b—Significant difference in percentage vitamin A EAR (weighted) met by consuming vitamin A fortified edible oil when comparing rural other and rural low performing household members (p <0.05)
When a superscript is not included in the table, it means that there is no significant difference between rural low performing and urban or rural others
