Description: A broad range of United States health statistics documenting the health status of the population and of important subgroups.

Users can also consult the subject index for State and Territorial Data. Also see:
- CDC Recommends , a searchable storehouse of documents containing CDC recommendations on a variety of health, prevention, and public health practice issues
- Global Health Facts , which provides free, up-to-date data by country on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and other key health and socio-economic indicators. The data are displayed in tables, charts, and color-coded maps and can be downloaded for custom analyses.
