English is primary spoken language in household^e	1.59	(1.01 -2.48)	p=0.05

Note: OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval. An asterisk represents a p value of ≤ 0.05
The final multivariable logistic regression model was built using a backward stepwise regression procedure.
The reference group consisted of subjects of a younger age.
The reference group consisted of subjects belonging to households where LPG was not used as a source of cooking fuel.
The reference group consisted of subjects who did not report inaccessibility as a primary barrier to seeking formal care.
