Diabetes Population Overview

This interactive visualization provides a comprehensive overview of diabetes populations across the USA, highlighting how diabetes rates and affected populations vary by state. The data presented includes the total population, the percentage of the population that has diabetes, and the total number of individuals affected by diabetes in each state.

The diabetes rate is calculated based on survey data collected throughout the year. Multiple values of the rate are recorded, and the average rate is used to estimate the diabetes population. This approach ensures a more accurate representation of the diabetes rate, though it may vary across different states and in real-time situations.

By examining this data, users can explore the geographical distribution of diabetes and identify trends over time. This allows for a deeper understanding of how population size and diabetes rates correlate, offering insights into public health challenges and the impact of diabetes on different regions.

This visualization is a crucial component of our project, which investigates the relationship between nutrition, diabetes, and its related health complications. It enables users to pinpoint areas with high diabetes populations and track changes over the years, providing valuable context for addressing public health issues related to diabetes.

The data is presented in a clear and interactive format, making it easy to navigate and analyze. This helps stakeholders, researchers, and policymakers to make informed decisions and develop targeted interventions to combat diabetes and its associated health risks.
