Small-world network models interconnecting Associated Causes with Ischemic Heart Diseases and Underlying Causes related with Ischemic Heart Diseases with sex and geographic regions. Graph representation of small-world network models of (3) the 13 most frequent associated causes of death listed when IHD was recorded as the underlying cause of death and (4) the 16 most frequent causes of death listed as the underlying cause of death when ischemic heart disease was recorded in any line of the death certificate. Both (3) and (4) are stratified by sex and geographic region. The thickness of the path is proportional to the number of links between nodes.
