  1. aAll models are weighted for the number of individuals contributing to the estimation of the outcome variables (MPF and mean age)
  2. bAdjusted for ITN use
  3. cAdjusted-R2
  4. dDecrease in MPF (%) per ten-point decrease in urbanicity score
  5. eIncrease in mean age in months of patients with malaria per ten-point increase in urbanicity score
  6. fDecrease in mean age in months of patients with malaria per 10 % increase in MPF
