2.12. Data Processing and Analysis

After data collection, the data was cleaned, coded, entered into Epi Info, and then exported to SPSS version 20 for further analysis. Anthropometric indices were calculated by using WHO AnthroPlus software. Descriptive statistics was used to show the prevalence of stunting and thinness and other sociodemographic characteristics. All variables having a p value of <0.25 in the univariable analysis were candidates for multivariable logistic regression model. In the multivariable analysis, variables with p value <0.05 were taken as significant predictors for stunting and thinness at a 95% confidence interval.
