Figure 4.

An example of information given by the top-down approach. The top-down approach provides information on univariate health inequality (as overall health inequality) and identifies contributions of the attributes we select (eg, income, education, and race/ethnicity). "Other (residual)" shows univariate health inequality that is not associated with the chosen attributes.
