Multivariable adjusted odds ratios estimated using logistic regression with un-nested denominators at each stage. Analysis incorporated sample weights.

aOR = adjusted odds ratio. BMI = body mass index. BMI categories were: underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m^2), normal (18.5 ≤ BMI < 25), overweight (25 ≤ BMI < 30), and obese (BMI ≤ 30). For health system variables (population per hospital, population per staff, population per health center, population per public health nurses), values were standardized so a one unit increase represents a one standard deviation increase from the mean.
