  • *Logistic regressions: all associations were adjusted for age and sex.

  • †Overall significance of the associations between SES and LLI. Model 1: main association between SES measure and LLI; model 2: inclusion of psychosocial variables only; model 3: inclusion of community variables only; model 4: inclusion of behavioural index only; model 5: inclusion of all explanatory variables.

  • NA, not applicable. Health behaviours index was not associated with land ownership and therefore not included in the analysis.
