  1. * Each fractional change is normalized to the reported value in 2000. Values are shown as medians with interquartile ranges (IQRs). The number of health indicators reported by each country varies from 13 to 14.
  2. + The p value addresses the question of whether the observed fractional change is statistically significantly different than zero, as assessed by the Wilcoxon signed rank test.
