  1. Note: Table is based on imputed dataset. Bold print indicates statistical significance
  2. † Net household income was not adjusted for household size
  3. Values represent odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals derived from (multiple) logistic regression analyses
  4. aEach sociodemographic factor was added to the model separately, and model was adjusted for child age, gender, siblings and season of participation
  5. bAll sociodemographic factors were added to the model, and model was adjusted for confounders: child age, gender, siblings and season of participation
  6. Using the Bonferroni correction in the multiple logistic regression (full model), the level of statistical significance is 0.05/8 = 0.006
