Nagelkerke R square = 0.361; CI confidence interval. Variables shown in this table were selected because of their association with GFI in the univariate analysis and of their potential public health interest regarding the current situation in Lebanon. Marital status and education were excluded in view of their high association with gender (p < 0.001). SRH was also excluded in view of the high correlation with financial status (r = 0.53; p < 0.001)
