Semester Final Project

Title: Number one Cause of Death? 

For my final semester project I will be conducting a research topic on trending issues around the world using  previous visualizations technique that I learn this semester. For my visualization work I will utilize plot.ly and tablue to correlates with my research investigation. One of the trending topic that I’m interested in investigating is the number one cause of death in the world or the united states.

According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC) heart disease is the number rated cause of death in United States. Its reported that about 610,000 people had suffer heart disease or heart attack per year. Both gender parties are subject to heart disease where as men and African American or black people suffer more from it. So I would be evaluating which race have a high percentage of death and the risk that leads up to having heart disease.

The method I use above correlates to the problem by boldly showing the audiences ( government, Doctors, researchers, other health professionals) that heart disease is becoming a epidemic crisis in America and that more people are fatally dying by it. So the bar graph I created would show shocking numbers that will catch the audience eyes and in hope of bringing awareness to the problem.

Using the data from the CDC website : (https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm) I use Part- to-whole to  created a pie chart that evaluate and visualizes different ethics race that are most affected by heart diseases. and the results were shocking to see that the two race that affected the most is the blacks and and non- Hispanics compare to others races such as Asians or Pacific Islanders. though Pie chart is not the most effective visualizations but its good to use when you are presenting a small data . 

From the above picture you can clear see the factors that contributes the cause of hear diseases from where it listed obesity as the number cause of obesity follow by physical inactivity such as not doing exercise, or activity to keep your arteries from clogging up. along that comes high blood pressure which i think is on the rise of become a major risk to cause heart attacks or heart disease in the United states. 

After thoroughly investigating my research question as to what is the number one cause of death in the United States, I came to a conclusion that heart disease is the number one cause death in america and the African american and Hispanics are the most one at risk of getting heart diseases. all factors lead up to poor dieting, obesity, and many more unhealthy factors.
