RII and SII were not calculated, because of a non-linear relationship between diabetes mortality and the educational rank variable
ASMR age-standardised mortality rates, CI confidence interval, MRR mortality rate ratios, RII relative index of inequality, SII slope index of inequality
aThe reference category was ISCED 5–6
