What's New
Health Data Interactive (HDI) is new! The National Center for Health
Statistics has combined two interactive, web-based applications, Health
Data for All Ages and Trends in Health and Aging, to create this new
site. Most of the table topics and many of the previous tables will
continue to be featured on HDI. Where possible, age groups have been
expanded and the depth of demographic detail increased. In some cases,
we offer two tables on the same topic, with one table featuring detailed
data on subpopulations and another table providing longer trend data.
