SDI=Socio-demographic Index.
SDI is calculated for each location (all 188 countries, seven territories, and 519 subnational locations estimated in GBD 2015) as a function of lag-distributed
income per capita, average educational attainment in the population aged over 15 years, and the total fertility rate. SDI of 0 represents the lowest level of income per capita, educational attainment, and highest
total fertility rate observed from 1980 to 2015, and SDI of 1 represents the highest income per capita, educational attainment, and lowest total fertility rate with an effect on health over the same period. Cutoffs
on the SDI scale for the quintiles have been selected based on their 2015 values by location.
