Model‐based difference of the means (trimester 1/2) – (trimester 3) adjusted for the covariate age and the fixed effect village.
Model‐based 95% confidence intervals (CI) adjusted for the covariate age and the fixed effect village.
Model‐based adjusted for the covariate age and the fixed effect village; statistical significance is achieved at P < 0.001 (Bonferroni correction for multiplicity).
§ Medians and 25th and 75th percentiles are only presented if the at least 75% of sample consumed the food group.
¶ The analysis of eggs was omitted because only one person consumed eggs.
