Fig. 5: Interaction effects for the CRF and cancer mortality by region and for the CRF and diabetes mortality by race.

a, The CRF and cancer mortality by region. b, The CRF and diabetes mortality by race. The results are from random-effects linear regression models for cause-specific deaths per 100,000 including interaction terms and adjusted for demographic factors (total population size, study year and geographic region). The sample size is 204 (that is, four observations for each of 50 US states and DC). The double segment on the y axis in a indicates truncation of values between zero and the next value on the y axis, and the y-axis ranges differ between a and b. The lines in the plots represent estimated β coefficients, while the shaded error bands represent 95% CIs around the estimated β coefficients, indicating the range within which the true values are expected to fall with 95% certainty. The width of the bands reflects the uncertainty in the estimates, with narrower bands signifying greater precision. Fully reported statistical results for the interaction models on which a and b are based are presented in Supplementary Table 6.
