Potential impact of modifiable factors on educational inequalities in life course prevalence of MetS between ages 18 and 65
*Note: The bars show the additional proportion of individuals with low education who ever experience MetS compared to individuals with high education under different counterfactual conditions. The percentages shown on the bars represent the percentage reduction under the given counterfactual. The incidence rates for the simulation were estimated using 79,829 individuals (60.7% female), and the recovery rates were estimated using 13,420 individuals (48.0% female)
