  • Haemoglobin, ferritin and transferrin as target variables. Net household income, highest education, occupational status, pubertal stage and gender as predictors. Significant correlations are bold.

  • *B indicates the regression coefficient.

  • †95% CI for B.

  • ‡Bilateral significance P<0.05.

  • §Pubertal stage gives no information beyond the information of the other variables; therefore, it was removed from the analyses.

  • WSI, Winkler-Stolzenberg Index.
