    The document presents sample size calculations for three variables - nutritional status, use of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) to prevent mosquito bites, and iron/folic acid supplementation. For each variable, it provides the percentage of outcomes in the unexposed and exposed groups, as well as the original and adjusted sample sizes accounting for a 10% contingency size. It determines that the largest final sample size calculated is 434 and therefore that will be the sample size for the study.

    From the above calculated sample size calculated by estimation of a single


    population proportion is less than that of associated factors. Therefore, the sample
    size for this study will be 434.
