  2. Note: All values were adjusted for illiteracy, purchasing power, proportion of elderly, proportion of males, diabetes mortality rate per 1000 inhabitants, COPD mortality rate per 1000 inhabitants, heart disease mortality rate per 1000 inhabitants, population density and PC supply. We exclude these variables from the table to simplify the reading
