- Use this interactive reporting to compare asthmatics to a closely matched sample of non-asthmatics.
- Be sure to play around with the drop-downs, especially when the Attribute drop-down is available. It will reveal a variety of topics available in each chart.
- The non-asthmatic group was matched to the asthmatic group based on age, sex, race, census region, and urban status.
- All data are for adults aged 18 years and older in 2008.
- The data are for 2008 and are derived from the Panel 12 Longitudinal Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), an annual nationally representative healthcare survey conducted by the US Government.
- Just over 16 million adults in the US had been diagnosed with asthma by 2008 according to this data.
- I'm using Zoho reports to render the data interactively on my blog, which is a great free (or very inexpensive depending on how you use it) cloud-based web reporting toolset.
- Visit the CDC's website for more information on the subject.
