Source: Data from the Mexican Health and Aging Study. Times 1, 2, and 3 represent the 2012, 2015, and 2018 study waves, respectively. “Solid” is wood/coal cooking fuel. Only respondents who had data on cooking fuel across all three time points (n=10,256) are shown, excluding 3,989 respondents for whom primary cooking fuel was missing in at least one wave. Frequencies and percentages are unweighted.
