Differences in covariates and outcomes between the study areas at baseline and follow-up, and between the cohort and repeat cross-sectional samples, were studied using one-way analysis of variance and chi-square tests as appropriate. For the cohort, potential attrition bias was studied by regressing an indicator of attrition on sociodemographic variables.
