Bold: statistically significant variables
¹Corresponds to the number of individuals living in a household with valid answers to all seven 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
¹LLR likelihood ratio test
