<p>GEE analysis of effect of town proximity on likelihood of husband’s infidelity, controlling for wife’s age, presence of children</p
Mean (±SE) number of husband’s other partners (n = 173, controlling for age and age at marriage with a town proximity-by-Spanish fluency interaction term).

Probability of husband’s infidelity by town proximity and wife’s age.

Geographical distribution of risk factors for GM.
<p>Distribution of wife’s age at first intercourse and number of lifetime partners for both spouses are based on the GM sample and weighted to adjust for sample bias (see text). To calculate mean risk, wife’s age at first intercourse and number of lifetime partners for both spouses were converted to z-scores and averaged, with age at first intercourse reverse coded. Distribution of Spanish fluency and literacy are based on the sample of women that received medical exams. Circles represent location of study villages, and circle size indicates number of women sampled per village. Estimates are derived from generalized additive models controlling for age. Regions between villages are simulated by the model. Refer to Supplementary Material for geographical distribution without sample weights (<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0050384#pone.0050384.s003" target="_blank">figure S3</a>).</p
Odds ratios (ORs) from GEE analyses of effects of sexual risk-taking, town proximity, and wife’s Spanish fluency and literacy on likelihood of GM.
<p>Models are weighted to adjust for sample bias (see text). OR’s are adjusted for age.

Starting from a full model, parameters were removed in a stepwise fashion until all parameters were significant at p≤0.10 (STEP). To estimate effects on number of lifetime partners (for husband and wife), age at marriage was not controlled as inclusion of this term reduced the effective sample size substantially (given missing data); on a sub-sample where data were available, inclusion of an age at marriage term does not significantly affect results.</p
