By conditioned logistic regression adjusted by number of siblings, number of siblings alive, distance to water source, and having a latrine at home.
OR is reported as + (infinite) or 0 are not properly estimated because of an insufficient enough number of positives. Such results should be interpreted with caution.
CI, confidence interval
