Multiple linear regression of health indicators with percentage of urban population residing in a slum area as the primary predictor for developing countries

Health outcome	β	P
Low birth weight (n = 58)	0.009	.848
Child malnutrition (n = 54)	0.070	.401
MCV immunization coverage rate (n = 68)	−0.379	.005
Infant mortality rate (n = 83)	0.556	<.0001
Under-5 mortality rate (n = 83)	0.724	.013
Maternal mortality ratio (n = 82)	3.73	.015

All models adjusted for percentage of country residing in urban areas, gross domestic product per capita, percentage of population living on less than $1.25 per day and world region.
