Table 4 Multiple logistic regression analysis of factors affecting adherence to ART (n=96)

Variable	B	SE	β	p	AOR	95% CI
Gender (Females)	0.21	0.09	0.21	0.021*	3.26	1.20-8.90
Experience of food insufficiency in the previous 30 days	0.30	0.09	0.31	0.002**	5.00	1.81-13.76

B: Unstandardized coefficient; SE: Standard error; β: Standardized coefficient; p value at <0.05* & <0.01**; A0R: Adjusted odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval; R²: Coefficient of determination. The variables of which the associated p value level was less than 0.1 by an univariate analysis were entered into a multiple logistic regression model.
