Relationship between sociodemographic index (SDI) and male-to-female age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) ratio across regions and countries.
(A) Male-to-female ASIR ratios plotted against SDI for global and regional levels, with each marker representing a specific geographic region. A positive but modest correlation is observed (R = 0.23, P < 0.001).
(B) Male-to-female ASIR ratios plotted against SDI at the national level, showing variation between countries and a stronger correlation compared to regional data (R = 0.33, P < 0.001). Black lines represent fitted trend curves.
