  1. OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval, PAF population attributable fraction; ORs combined through fixed-effects meta-analysis; #Likelihood ratio tests; All analyses accounted for the two-stage clustered sampling design through the use of a logistic regression model with random effects for enumeration area and inclusion of region or community as a fixed effect; Negative PAFs were given a value of zero; *Adjusted for age, sex, HIV status, body mass index, household socioeconomic position and education
