Association between STH infection and cognitive ability, nutritional indicators, school absence and performance (infected with any of the 3 types of STHs).

Notes:a Estimated with multivariate regressions adjusted for student characteristics (gender, age, boarding status, ethnicity); student eating and sanitation habits (ever eats uncooked meat / vegetables, ever drinks unboiled water); as well as household and family characteristics (household size, number of siblings, pieces of durable assets, parental migrant status, parental education). Standard errors are adjusted for clustering at the township level. Coefficients are reported in cases of continuous outcome variables (namely, WMI, PSI, Hb, HAZ, WAZ, BmiAZ, Standardized math test score) whereas odds ratio reported in cases of binary outcome variables (namely, anemic and school absence).b Confidence intervals reported here are based on significance level adjusted for multiple hypotheses testing by the Bonferroni method, which adjusted the customary significance level of alpha (i.e., 0.05) downward to 0.006.c eta^2 are reported in cases of continuous outcome variables (namely, WMI, PSI, Hb, HAZ, WAZ, BmiAZ, Standardized math test score) whereas odds ratio reported in cases of binary outcome variables (namely, anemic and school absence).d The Bonferroni method adjusted the customary significance level of 0.05 and 0.01 downward to 0.006 and 0.001, respectively.Source: Authors’ survey.Association between STH infection and cognitive ability, nutritional indicators, school absence and performance (infected with any of the 3 types of STHs).
