Annualized change in slope index of inequality for overweight between the first and last survey years, with 95% confidence intervals, for women in 37 developing countries in 1989–2007, ordered according to first-year gross domestic product (GDP). GDP is per capita adjusted by the purchasing power parity method and is adjusted for inflation using the 2005 international dollar value as a base. Positive values for annualized change in slope index of inequality indicate faster overweight prevalence increase among lower wealth groups (vs. higher); negative values indicate faster overweight prevalence increase among higher wealth groups (vs. lower).
