Figure 3: Relative and absolute differences in statin use for secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease by country using modified Poisson regressions for sex (A), age (B), education (C), and residence (D).

Figure 3:

All regressions were adjusted for sex and age. Age was included in three categories (40–49 years, 50–59 years, and 60–69 years) for all the regressions except for in (B) age, in which it was dichotomised as age 55 years or older versus younger than age 55 years. The regressions account for sample weights, stratification in survey design, and clustering at the level of the primary sampling unit. Error bars show the 95% CIs. Education was not available in the survey from Tokelau. Rural versus urban residence was unavailable in 14 surveys (Botswana, Ecuador, Eswatini, Kiribati, Lebanon, Myanmar, Nauru, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Tajikistan, Timor-Leste, Tokelau, and Tuvalu). Differences in the ordering of countries by RRs versus average marginal effects is due to the difference in baseline statin use among countries. RR=risk ratio. AFG=Afghanistan. ARM=Armenia.
