a—Significant difference in percentage vitamin EAR (weighted) met by consuming vitamin A fortified edible oil between those household members, categorized by poverty status(p <0.05)

b–MPI—Multidimensional poverty index; A household is categorized as being in poverty if MPI, a weighted index score which ranges from 0 to 1, is ≥0.33

No superscript indicates that that there is no significant difference between members from households with or without poverty
