Relationship between age-standardised summary exposure values and SDI for three of the top environmental and occupational, behavioural, and metabolic risk factors by number of attributable DALYs globally

The three leading risks for each Level 1 risk group are shown, except alcohol (fourth leading behavioural risk), which was included for variety instead of short gestation for birthweight. Each point corresponds to the age-standardised SEV in a country for males (blue), females (red), or both sexes (purple) for SEVs that are not sex specific. Points depict all country-years, 1990–2017. Lines show the expected SEV by SDI for each sex. Note that the y-axis scales differ by risk to correspond to the range of observed SEVs. DALYs=disability-adjusted life-years. SDI=Socio-demographic Index. SEV=summary exposure value.
