represents variability explained by the fixed effects; represents variability explained by both fixed and random effects.
The β estimates for pyrimethanil and distance to plantation reflect % increase in OHP per 10% increase in pyrimethanil concentration and distance to plantation, respectively.
The β estimate for eating rice and beans reflects % increase in OHP expected for women who eat rice and beans 15 + times a week compared to those that do not.

The unadjusted estimates (95% CI) from the regression for the intercept = −0.65 (−0.71, −0.59), and for each 10% increase in pyrimethanil concentration = 5.83 (4.84, 6.84).
