Another interesting contribution of the study is the diet quality index for assessing micronutrient sufficiency.
The variables of education, spouse's occupation, sufficiency of income for expenses, crowding index, primary support source, and ethnicity entered the backward multivariable linear regression model.
To develop and validate a nutrient quality index to assess micronutrient sufficiency of diets using statistical techniques and bioavailability of micronutrients.
The sociodemographic factors included age, marital status, education, occupation, sufficiency of income for expenses, crowding index, primary support source, and ethnicity, as well as spouse's level of education and occupation for married participants.
Indices of model fit showed sufficiency (Table 3).
Standardized loadings of the items are shown in table 2. Indices of model fit showed sufficiency (table 3 model 1).
Both studies assessed self-sufficiency using the Katz Index of ADLs, and neither found any change after the ICU stay.
When doing exploratory analysis, one could use the above indexes to assess the necessity and sufficiency of one explanatory condition.
Pancreatic insufficiency (PI) vs pancreatic sufficiency (PS); cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD); Body mass index (BMI).
Comparisons of the two groups for the different clinical parameters such as pancreatic insufficiency (PI) vs pancreatic sufficiency (PS), cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) and body mass index (BMI) did not demonstrate obvious differences as well (Table 1).
Following the methodology of Filmer and Pritchett [ 29], we constructed a household wealth index using information on ownership of household assets, land, and self-assessed measures of sufficiency of food and clothing from the household questionnaire.
