a

Relative risk ratios come from individual multinomial models comparing UND/ID, OWT/NCD and DB to a normal weight/healthy referent for individuals. All models are adjusted for age, sex, economic quintile, ethnicity, marital status of the head of household, place of birth, island, and clustering by household.

b

Odds ratios come from individual logistic regression models comparing dual burden to households without the dual burden. Models are adjusted for head of household sex, ethnicity, marital status and place of birth, economic quintile and island.

c

Abbreviations: UND/ID: undernutrition and infectious disease; OWT/NCD: overweight and noncommunicable disease.

d

Models with diet quality include 1362 individuals and 317 households.

e

Includes low diet quality and/or food insecurity;

f

Includes poor water access and/or use of nonbottled drinking water;

g

includes low diet quality and/or food insecurity and poor water access and/or use of nonbottled drinking water.
