Diagnoses on the terrain

Labels are the yardstick, not the axes. If a label splits into separate basins with different mortality, the terrain says more than the label. If it sits in one lower trough, the terrain reproduces it.

Where diagnosed and undiagnosed people sit

Diagnosed diabetes on HbA1c and glucose; treated hypertension on systolic and diastolic pressure. Survey-weighted shares in each hazard-shape zone. The glucose row places serum glucose, from a mix of fasting and non-fasting samples, on the fasting-glucose zones and is indicative only. Treatment may move the diagnosed toward the trough, so their position can reflect care as well as disease.

Does diagnosed diabetes split into basins?

The density of HbA1c among people with diagnosed diabetes, by sex and age band. An antimode would separate basins; their mortality is then compared, adjusted for age and sex.

Within the diagnosed, HbA1c is shaped by treatment, so a mode may be made by treatment rather than physiology.

Diseases in the catalogue, placed on the zones

For each disease, the catalogue markers it alters and the zone the alteration moves a person into. The direction is read from the alteration's name; names that do not state one are left out. A listing, not a finding.
