RII = relative index of inequality, CVD = cardiovascular diseases.

^*Rate ratio of the mortality rates of those at the lowest education level compared with those at the highest education level. A RII higher than 1 indicates that the mortality rate is higher in the group with lower education level. ^†Cardiovascular disease includes hypertensive or ischemic heart disease, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease or stroke, atherosclerosis or peripheral vascular disease, and aortic aneurysm; Obesity-related cancers include cancers at colon and rectum, esophagus, kidney, pancreas, gallbladder, and thyroid. For women, cancers at endometrium and breast were additionally included; Obesity-related mortality includes mortality from cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and obesity-related cancers. ^‡Assessed by the Poisson regression test.
