Polychoric cross-correlations among paired cardiometabolic drivers stratified by area deprivation index group.

Pairwise CMBCD driver polychoric correlations stratified by ADI group are shown in each square. Pairwise polychoric correlations that are significantly different to their counterpart in another ADI group are encircled, with a curved line connecting them and a p-value midway at the flexion of the curve. See text for explanation of polychoric correlations. The average of pairwise polychoric correlations for each ADI group are depicted in Fig. 2. Abbreviations: ADI - area deprivation index; ABCD - adiposity-based chronic disease; DBCD - dysglycemia-based chronic disease; HBCD - hypertension-based chronic disease; LBCD - lipid-based chronic disease.
