Relative risks and baseline risks 
---------------------------------
Diabetes is not only a disease but also a risk factor. Once an individual develops diabetes, their 
likelihood of developing other diseases changes. Relative risks are provided for diabetics and 
non-diabetics (assumed to equal 1), and by gender and age-group.
 
Relative risks are taken from the following source, :cite:p:`GBD2016RiskFactorsCollaborators2017`.

.. csv-table:: Relative risk for diabetes (Men and women aged 50-55)
   :file: diabetes_RR.csv
   :header-rows: 1
   :stub-columns: 1

For each disease, the baseline risk is computed as following, with :math:`\mathbb_{P}(Diab)` the prevalence of diabetes obtained with :cite:p:`InstituteforHealthMetricsandEvaluationIHME`.
