Bold: statistically significant variables
¹Corresponds to the number of household surveys having valid answers to all five variables included in the model
²The number of * indicates the significance of each beta coefficient resulting from the multiple logistic regression (MLR) which corresponds to the probability of the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) being equal to 1: *P value < 0.1, **P value < 0.05, ***P value < 0.01, ****P value < 0.001. CI Confidence interval
