CDC's diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity interactive atlases

In 2012, CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation  unveiled their Diabetes Interactive Atlases ( http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/atlas/ ), interactive Internet tools for the public to view data and trends of diagnosed diabetes (both prevalence and incidence), obesity, and leisure-time physical inactivity at the national, state, and county levels.


It is quite cool and can be very helpful for some things.

Users of this are able to access:

1) state and county-level data in the US

2) data on how counties compare with each other

3) maps and motion charts to examine how changes in diabetes coincide with changes in obesity over time and by location     http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/atlas/
