Extended Data Fig. 4: National correlation of proportional SSB-attributable CVD incidence and SDI at the national level in 1990 and 2020.
(a) 1990 and (b) 2020. Points represent the 184 countries included in this analysis (labeled with their ISO3 code and colored based on world region). The gray line represents the overall linear association, with Spearman correlation coefficient and associated p value (two-tailed) provided. No adjustments were made for multiple comparisons. SDI is a measure of a nation’s development expressed on a scale of 0 to 1 sourced from the Global Burden of Disease study, based on a compositive average of the rankings of income per capita, average educational attainment and fertility rates. In prior GDD reports, the region Central/ Eastern Europe and Central Asia was referred as Former Soviet Union, and Southeast and East Asia was referred to as Asia. See Supplementary Table 1 for a list of countries included in each world region. Source data are provided in Source Data file 8.
