Poisson panel regression results examining ENSO exposure on food items consumed by children aged 9–36 months. All models adjusted for gender, age, parity, seasons (months), assets, energy (kcal), household income, maternal education and illness in the previous 30 d. In addition, model set 2 adjusted for local food prices (index) of six foods. Model set 3 adjusted additional for median river level (metres). Model set 4 presents the interaction term between ENSO pphases and gender and also adjusted for river levels (metres)
