A Males and B Females. The data presented was based on Non-Communicable Disease risk Collaboration (NCD-RisC) group estimates of diabetes and obesity, in 2014 and 2016, respectively. Scattergraphs A and B represent the age-standardized prevalence rates of diabetes in 2014 (x-axis) against obesity in 2016 (y-axis), across 200 countries, in males and females, respectively. For each graph, the vertical dotted line represents the worldwide age-standardized prevalence rate of diabetes in 2014, and the horizontal line represents the worldwide age-standardized prevalence rate of obesity in 2016. The 200 countries were categorized into nine super-regions and color-coded in the figure, which include Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia Middle East and North Africa, East and South East Asia, High-income Asia Pacific, High-income Western countries, Latin America and Caribbean, Oceania, South Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
