Welcome!

Group 10 welcomes you to our project! The health of the average American has become a rising daily concern in recent history. More specficially, cardiovascular health has become a significant topic of study. According to the National Institutes of Health, heart disease and stroke are the "leading causes of death for both U.S. men and women." Therefore, as they describe, "more research is needed" towards this national issue. In our project, we closely looked at trends in obesity, heart disease mortality, diabetes, and more. Each tab zooms in on a specific issue, presenting a variety of visualizations in order for more research on cardiovascular health to be done. In the dropdown menu, you will be able to learn more about risks associated with obesity, our motivations behind this research, and more about us. We hope you enjoy!
