Hi All,I was listening to the radio while driving to work today and I heard about this report from the CDC (Center For Disease Control).
The name of the report is 'Health, United States 2011' and is essentially the annual state of the union's health. According to the news report that I link to - click here for the link - there is both good news and bad news: the good news is that Americans are living longer - the bad news is that we are gaining weight.
This years' report has a special section on how our socioeconomic status and health are related.
Click on this link for the actual report from the CDC. Note that on this page you'll see a section of 'What's New' in the 2011 Edition, the Complete Report, an 'At a Glance Table', 'Highlights' of the Report, 'Trendtables, and the Index. Finally, there is a link entitled, 'Socioeconomic Status and Health'.
On the 'Health, United States, 2011' page, there is a box titled 'Selected Topics'. This is a great place to get data on Children and Adolescent Health, Men's Health, Mental Health, Older Population Data and Poverty data and more!
What a treasure chest of data - interesting, relevant and timely! Great stuff.
Enjoy the link and the sites and the data!
Regards,
Stu
