What is the main cause of disability in your country? What percentage of lung cancer deaths were caused by smoking?

Maps, graphs, tree diagrams, arrow diagrams, and a dozen other types of graphs can be used to compare trends in diseases, injuries, and risk factors; explore the health profile within a country according to age and sex; compare countries with each other or examine regional and global trends. The visualization is available in 16 languages and the data can be downloaded.
