Figure 1. Schematic Diagram of Some Pathways That Mediate the Association Between Income and Mortality.

Mediating effect was Calculated as: (β _{Model I –} β _{Model I+mediator(s)}) × 100/β _{Model I} for all-cause mortality (β _{Model II -} β _{Model II+mediator(s)}) × 100/β _{Model II} for CVD/diabetes mortality.
