SES and indications of causes

Geographic patterns in socioeconomic status and obesity-related cause indications

These interactive maps summarize PC4-level socioeconomic status and participant-derived indications of possible underlying causes. They are intended for descriptive exploration, hypothesis generation, and transparent discussion of spatial heterogeneity.

Interactive map views

Each view uses the same postcode geometry and aggregated participant summaries, but emphasizes a different analytical question.

Multilayer exploration

SES and cause-domain switcher

Inspect Statusscore 2021, mean cause burden, age, BMI, and individual cause domains using one interactive layer with a metric selector.

Joint classification

Bivariate SES x cause burden

Compare socioeconomic position and mean cause burden simultaneously, highlighting areas where both dimensions may coincide.

Stratified summary

SES quartile strata

Group postcodes into SES quartiles and compare participant characteristics and cause-domain percentages in the embedded summary table.

Interpretation note: domain percentages regard indications of possible causes, not diagnoses or causal estimates. Spatial patterns should be interpreted as aggregated descriptive signals and considered alongside sampling density, participant composition, and clinical context.
