a Model 1 presents mixed-effects logistic regression of the relationship between adherence to MDD or MMF and other determinants with WaSt. b Model 2 presents mixed-effects logistic regression of the relationship between adherence to MAD and other determinants with WaSt. c Model 3 presents mixed-effects logistic regression of the relationship between adherence to ADF and other determinants with WaSt. Age2 = Age square is added to the model since the relationship between age and WaSt is non-linear. p-Value is statistically significant at p < 0.05. MDD = minimum dietary diversity, MMF = minimum meal frequency; MAD = minimum acceptable diet; and ADF = age-appropriate daily feeding; AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
