Correlation between SDI and ASDR and ASMR in T2DM due to high BMI in different regions and countries, 1990–2021. A The solid line is a locally weighted scatterplot smoothing smoother, which displays the global expected values based on the Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) values. B Each point represents the age-standardized Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY) rate and mortality rate observed in a specific country in 2021. ASDR: Age-Standardized Disability-Adjusted Life Year rate; ASMR: Age-Standardized Mortality rate; SDI: Socio-Demographic Index
