Data Visualizations

Analyze updated data about the world’s health levels and trends from 1990 to 2016 in this interactive tool. Use treemaps, maps, arrow diagrams, and other charts to compare causes and risks within a country, compare countries with regions or the world, and explore patterns and trends by country, age, and gender. Drill from a global view into specific details. Compare expected and observed trends. Watch how disease patterns have changed over time. See which causes of death and disability are having more impact and which are waning.

Where do we have the best data on different health conditions? For any age group, see where various data sources have placed trends in causes of death over time. You can examine more than 200 causes in both adjusted and pre-adjusted numbers, rates, and percentages for 195 countries and territories

With this tool, users can explore progress made toward achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Measure progress made by 188 countries from 1990–2015 toward 33 health-related indicators, such as mortality rate due to road injuries, prevalence of intimate partner violence among women, maternal mortality ratio, and incidence rate of new HIV cases. See how countries have progressed over time. Share and download figures for later use.

The Social Determinants of Health visualization tool allows you to explore the relationships between determinants of health and health indicators across countries. This second release of the tool presents antenatal care visits, skilled birth attendance, measles and DPT3 immunization coverage, lag distributed income, and educational attainment. Users can visualize the relationships between these determinants and life expectancy, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) by cause, years lived with disability (YLDs) by cause, and causes of death. Additional determinants and indicators will be added to the tool in subsequent releases.

With this interactive map, you can explore health trends in the United States at the county level for both sexes for cancer, 21 major causes of death, life expectancy, alcohol, smoking, hypertension, obesity, physical activity, and diabetes.

This interactive data visualization tool shows modeled trends in smoking prevalence worldwide and by country for the years 1980 to 2015. Data were derived from nationally representative sources that measured tobacco use.

How did life expectancy and probability of death change between 1990 and 2015 in 195 countries? Examine changes in life expectancy and see how causes contributed to changes in life expectancy. Explore the probability of death by cause, location, sex, and year. Analyze healthy life expectancy (HALE) by sex, location, and year.

Created for The Journal of the American Medical Association, this interactive data visualization tool shows estimated trends in HIV/AIDS death, incidence, and prevalence worldwide and by country for the years 1990 to 2013.
