Supplemental Table 1. Mutivariate, multilevel, logistic regression adjusted odds-ratios for stunting, wasting, and underweight, separately, according to a continuous measure of the proportion of maternal autonomy in the community in three domains, separately, for children under five years across 29 states in India (n = 40,686; National Family and Health Survey, India, 2005-06).

Model 1: adjusted for child age Model 2: adjusted for all variables Model 3: adjusted for all and sex only except individual autonomy variables Continuous proportion of children in community with AOR 95% CI AOR 95% CI AOR 95% CI a mother who has autonomy in… Child Stunting … healthcare 0.64*** (0.57, 0.71) 0.88** (0.79, 0.99) 0.88** (0.78, 0.99) … movement 0.62*** (0.56, 0.69) 0.89** (0.80, 0.99) 0.90 (0.80, 1.01) … money 0.87** (0.77, 0.97) 0.87** (0.77, 0.97) 0.85** (0.75, 0.97) Child Wasting … healthcare 0.95 (0.86, 1.04) 1.10 (0.96, 1.25) 1.13* (0.98, 1.32) … movement 0.93* (0.85 1.02) 1.08 (0.95, 1.23) 1.09 (0.95, 1.26) … money 0.92* (0.84 1.02) 1.04 (0.91, 1.20) 1.10 (0.94, 1.27) Child Underweight … healthcare 0.78*** (0.70, 0.87) 1.04 (0.94, 1.17) 1.06 (0.94, 1.20) … movement 0.74*** (0.66, 0.82) 1.00 (0.90, 1.12) 1.02 (0.90, 1.15) … money 0.77*** (0.69, 0.87) 0.93 (0.83, 1.05) 0.93 (0.82, 1.06) Notes: Model 2 was adjusted for child birth order, maternal characteristics (BMI, height, age, marital status, education, whether currently working, age at first birth, and number of births in the last five years), and household characteristics (paternal education, household wealth quintiles, religion, caste, access to toilet, access to water, and rural vs. urban location). Models accounted for the clustering of observations within

1 primary sampling units (PSUs also referred to as communities) and states. Model 3 included the variables in Model 2 plus individual maternal autonomy.
