Notes:

*

In the 14 days before taking the sample.

ARI: Acute respiratory infection. COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Estimation carried out by complex samplings, prevalence ratios obtained with generalized linear models with Poisson family, and logarithmic link. PR: Prevalence ratio. C: raw, a: adjusted. CI: Confidence interval.

Model I: Number of strata = 38; Number of PSUs = 2,010; Degree of freedom (df) = 1,972; F(16,1957) = 22.59; Prob > F = 0.000.

Model II: Number of strata = 38; Number of PSUs = 2,010; Degree of freedom (df) = 1,972; F(8,1965) = 0.65; Prob > F = 0.7316.

Model III: Number of strata = 38; Number of PSUs = 2,010; Degree of freedom (df) = 1,972; F(5,1968) = 20.02; Prob > F = 0.0000.
