On this table, when a statistical test has been performed, the data showing a significant difference is displayed on a yellow background, otherwise on a grey background.

The geographical dispersion marker Δ shows the result of comparing the coefficient of variation (CV) of the indicator with the median (MED) of the CVs of all analyses for this indicator: δ if CV > MED + 10%, δδ if CV > MED + 20%, δδδ if CV > MED + 30% (Exception: For median age, δ means CV > MED + 30%).
