Once you have selected your groups and clicked on View HPI data, the navigation links on the left will show the formats in which you can view the HPI data. HPI Chart shows the data in spider-chart format (this is the default format for viewing the data):
Data for the the main (red line) and comparison groups (dark blue line) you defined are shown in the spider-chart, with the 26 health-related indicators shown (see the Indicators or Background pages for further details of the indicators, their components and the datasets used), and the nine sectors labeled. For each indicator, a score of zero indicates the best situation in terms of health poverty and a score of 1 the worst situation. The main and comparison groups are described at the bottom of the page. Rolling your mouse over the variable name should bring up a short description of that variable (this is not available in all browsers). By ‘left-clicking’ on the indicators a pop-up chart of the components that make up the indicator will appear. You can save this chart to reuse in your own documents by saving the image. This varies by web-browser, but typically you can right-click on the chart, and select ‘Save image’. The image will be saved in the common jpeg or png formats, which you can then import into your own documents. |
