Correlation between SCORE and health outcomes.

SCORE	Health Indicators	Correlation (95%-confidence interval)
Total	Change in the share of behavioural risk-related YLLs (neoplasms) among women, 2011–2021	−0.40 (−0.67, −0.05)
Total	Life expectancy at birth	0.37 (0.10, 0.64)
Tobacco	Change in male smoking prevalence, 2010–2022	−0.24 (−0.55, 0.13)
Alcohol	Change in weekly heavy episodic drinking, 2014–2019	−0.63 (−0.81, −0.35)
Sugar	Life expectancy at birth	0.37 (0.07, 0.78)

This table shows bivariate correlations between SCORE (overall and domain-specific) and selected health-burden indicators over the windows indicated in the row labels. Higher SCORE indicates greater risk-proportionate within-category differentiation, not greater overall policy strictness.
