  1. R2 values are from univariate linear regression models that examined the associations between each publicly available composite indices (HPI, CES, and SVI) with each health outcome or health behavior that has been linked with metabolic health. An asterisk (*) denotes that all univariate associations between each index and health outcome or behavior were statistically significant at a p-value < 0.001. Lastly, except for life expectancy, an increase in prevalence corresponds to a greater disease burden
