  1. Legend: cOR Crude Odds Ratio; CI Confidence Interval; bold = statistically significant p-value < 0.05; MDD Minimum Dietary Diversity; MMF Minimum Meal Frequency; MAD Minimum acceptable diet
  2. 1 Bivariate logistic regression was performed for agroecological zone and results are reported as odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval
  3. 2 Multivariate logistic regression models were performed for each IYCF variable independently and results are reported as odds ratios with a 95% confidence interval
