Multi-level linear regression for nutrition transition factor score.
| Factor | B (95% CI) | p | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sex | Male (Reference) | ||
| Female | 0.033 (−0.042, 0.109) | 0.386 | |
| Nutritional status | Normal (Reference) | ||
| Overweight | −0.099 (−0.184, -0.013) | 0.024 | |
| Underweight | −0.197 (−0.265, 0.071) | 0.257 | |
| Age (years) | 3–10 | 1.696 (1.508, 1.885) | <0.0001 |
| 10-19 | 1.186 (1.006, 1.366) | <0.0001 | |
| 19-34 | 0.451 (0.276, 0.626) | <0.0001 | |
| 34-49 | 0.248 (0.070, 0.425) | <0.0001 | |
| 49-64 | 0.136 (−0.041, 0.313) | 0.133 | |
| 64+ (reference) | |||
| Random effects variance (95% CI) | |||
| Village | 0.001 (0.000, 0.238, p=0.705) | ||
| Household | 0.184 (0.145, 0.234, p<0.0001) | ||
| Participant | 0.485 (0.445, 0.529, p<0.0001) | ||
First level consisted of individual level fixed effects, second level consisted of participants nested within homes, third level consisted of homes nested within villages.
Mean of nutrition transition component scores = 0, standard deviation = 1.
