CI confidence interval
aThe educational rank variable ranged from 1 (lowest end of the educational distribution) to 0 (highest end of the educational distribution)
bThe reference category was men
cAll countries combined, the relationship between the educational rank variable and diabetes mortality was linear. Thus, for the calculation of the “all countries” estimates, England and Wales, the Spanish regions, the Italian regions, and Estonia were included as well
