Throughout the chapter, the term significant indicates a chi‐square p‐value less than 0.05;marginally significant indicates a p‐value between 0.05 and 0.10, inclusive; and not significantindicates a p‐value greater than 0.10. For any analysis that compared results from the 2003 KDHS andthe <strong>2007</strong> <strong>KAIS</strong> data, the z‐test statistic was used to compare the two weighted estimates from 2003 and<strong>2007</strong> and to determine if differences were statistically significant. Methods used for calculating the z‐test statistic are described further in Appendix A.Appendix B.14 also presents a table of general characteristics including household possession ofdurable goods and the physical condition of households, such as roofing material and source offuel, those these results are not discussed in the chapter.Population estimates reported in this chapter were calculated based on the total, national <strong>2007</strong>projected population reported in The Analytical Report on Population Projections, Volume II, <strong>Kenya</strong>n<strong>National</strong> Bureau of Statistics (2002). Weighted national estimates for selected indicators from the <strong>2007</strong><strong>KAIS</strong> were used in these calculations. Detailed methods used for calculating population estimates aredescribed in Appendix A.14.3 HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITIONThis section presents information on the composition of households, including the sex of the headof household, the size of the household and the age distribution of household members. Thesecharacteristics are important because they may be associated with the welfare of the household.Female‐headed households, for example, typically have fewer resources than male‐headedhouseholds.
