I chose the topic of Cancer, because I see a lot of my patients come to the floor and they are either being treated for cancer or had a history of it. Back in 2019 my dad was diagnosed cancer, Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He sadly passed in 2021. It is so important to me that cancer research is being conducted because it can transform and save lives. Studying cancer can help develop safe and effective methods to prevent, detect, diagnose, treat, and ultimately, cure cancer. Cancer statistics helps those researchers know the number of people who are currently diagnosed and see trends.
The CDC has put together incident data from selected cancer registries, meeting the U.S. Cancer Statistics data quality criteria, “covering 99% of the U.S. population”. (CDC, 2022). The death data are from the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics National Vitals Statistics System and it “covers 100% of the U.S. population”. (CDC,2022).

This first graph is on the Top 10 Cancers by Rates of New Cancer Cases. It was collected in 2019, which is the latest year for which incidence data are available. It includes all races and ethnicities, and both male and female genders. The rates are the number of cases, or deaths, per 100,000 people and are age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. standard population. “In the United States, 1,752,735 new cases of cancer were reported, and 599,589 people died of cancer”. (CDC,2022). Heart disease is the first leading cause of death and the second is cancer! “One of every five deaths in the United States is due to cancer”. (CDC,2022) In this pie chart, it shows Female breast cancer being the top new diagnosed cancer and Leukemias being the lowest. Female breast cancer had a case count of 264,121 and Prostate coming in second with 224,733 cases. Lung and Bronchus had 221,097 cases, Colon and Rectum 142,462, Corpus and Uterus 59,450, Melanomas of the skin 88,059, Urinary Bladder 75,022, Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma 71,575, Kidney and Renal Pelvis 68,047, and lastly Leukemias with a case count of 50,627.

For this presentation, I chose a Stroke because I work on the neuroscience floor, where most of my patients are experiencing some form of cerebrovascular accident or TIA (transient ischemic attack). Moreover, stroke is among the top five causes of death in the United States.
I’m interested in the incidence of stroke among different family income distributions. I created a pie chart where you can see the percentage of each category from the given CDC data (CDC, 2018).
Table Stroke.jpg
Percentage P (Less than $35,000)=3,303/58,573=0.056→5.6%
P ($35,000–$49,999)=772/24,817=0.031→3.1%
P ($50,000–$74,999)=1,250/38,139=0.033→3.3%
P ($75,000–$99,999)=573/30,794=0.019→1.9%
P ($100,000 or more)=1,026/73,236=0.014→1.4%
Figure 1.
Percentage of stroke among adults aged 18 and over based on income: United States, 2018

Each circle segment represents a specific family income, and its size depends on the percentage of people getting a stroke. We can infer that the population with a family income of less than $35,000 has the highest chance of stroke. The least percentage is among those with an income of over $100,000. This can be associated with better access to healthcare, more favorable living conditions, diet, better living conditions, etc.

I chose asthma as my topic. I was curious to find out if the geographical location would be a major factor in the prevalence nationally. The first data below shows the adult prevalence by state in alphabetical order and Guam and Puerto Rico are included at the bottom of the data chart. I then chose the top ten states and created a bar graph showing where asthma prevalence is highest, still by alphabetical order. I also created a map visual that would show if there was any relation to the location or region where asthma may be more prevalent (i.e. Northwest, Southwest, etc.). As noted on the map, there is no specific region where asthma is more prevalent. According to the CDC (2023), “current asthma prevalence varies in states and territories, ranging from 5% in Guam to 12.4% in Virginia for adults.”

I chose breastfeeding as my topic for this presentation. Working in labor and delivery, I am interested in learning what percentage of babies are breastfed by the year of birth. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2023), the methodology used to collect the data below was through the use of random landline and cellular telephone sampling using the National Immunization Survey (NIS). In this data, both any breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding were used. For the purpose of this assignment, I will be showing (Ever Breastfed) data by the year of birth (CDC, 2023). As you can see from the data, babies born in the years 2012-2019 had a range between 80%-84.1% of being breastfed. I created a pie chart reflecting the data from (CDC, 2023) showing the percentage of breastfed babies by year of birth.
