  1. Numbers in parentheses are standard errors
  2. NCD Noncommunicable disease, n/o No observations
  3. aThe sum of the incidences of risk categories 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 = 100%; the sum of the incidences of the risk categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d = 100%
  4. bHouseholds are at risk of impoverishment if consumption expenditure net of OOP expenses is between 100 and 120% of subsistence expenditure
