TABLE 3.

Diabetes Population Risk Tool (DPoRT) risk estimates and inequity across income quintiles and household education levels for Canada 2017/18 to 2027/28, before and after an intervention that results in a 5% relative risk reduction (Canada. 2017/18).

Income quintile Baseline After intervention c
Target population group: 2 Target population group: 3 Target population group: 4
Lowest (1) 10.5% 10.5% 10.5% 10.0%
Low-middle (2) 10.6% 10.6% 10.5% 10.1%
Middle (3) 10.0% 9.9% 10.1% 9.8%
High-middle (4) 9.7% 9.5% 9.7% 9.5%
Highest (5) 8.7% 8.5% 8.7% 8.5%
Inequity Q5−Q1 (absolute) a 1.8% 2.0% 1.8% 1.5%
Inequity (relative) b 17.0 19.0 17.1 15.0
Household education
Less than secondary (1) 15.2% 15.2% 15.2% 14.5%
Secondary graduation (2) 11.5% 11.5% 11.4% 10.9%
Post-secondary (3) 8.6% 8.4% 8.5% 8.3%
Inequity 1–3 (absolute) a 6.6% 6.8% 6.7% 6.2%
Inequity (relative) b 43.4 44.7 44.1 42.8
a

Absolute inequity: risk difference between the most and least disadvantaged groups.

b

Relative inequity: risk difference between the most and least disadvantaged groups, divided by the risk of the most disadvantaged group.

c

Interventions were applied to population group 2 (at least one high-risk factor in lifestyle domain), group 3 (at least one high-risk factor in socioeconomic/structural domain), or group 4 (at least one high-risk factor in both lifestyle and socioeconomic/structural domains).
