Multivariable log-binomial model adjusted for all covariates presented in the table. Cluster-robust standard errors were implemented at the recruitment zone level

Bolded values indicate statistically significant (p < 0.05) differences

*Covariate excluded from multivariable analysis due to considerable multicollinearity (VIF ≥ 2.5) with food insecurity
