Visualization and the NFHS

A very quick post today, because the end of the year is proving to be anything but a holiday, alas.

My third post in the series about NFHS was going to be about a pet theme (and peeve) of mine: our inability to get better visualization for our data, and indeed better reporting of data in general. But there is good news on this front, finally – there is now an excellent resource that we can use to visualize the results of the NFHS-5 survey.

Here’s just one chart to whet your appetite: blood sugar level among adult women (high, or very high or taking medicine). Note that the chart for men is largely similar.

This is great work, and kudos to everybody associated with this visualization project! 🙂

Hi there! Thanks for choosing to visit this page, and my blog. My name is Ashish, and I'm a bit of a wanderer when it comes to vocations. I'm not quite sure what I want to do with my life, and I'm not even sure that it is any one single thing. But I know I like knowing about a lot of things, as many as possible. I know I like bike rides, I know I like the city I was born (Pune) and I know I like reading and writing. Feel free to drop me a line if you feel like a chat - I'll look forward to it. Cheers!
