Population equivalents based on taking the UHC effective coverage index as a fraction and multiplying these values by total population for a given location-year to approximate populations covered with UHC effective coverage. UHC=universal health coverage. GBD=Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study. 95% UI=95% uncertainty interval.
