Visualising health profiles

Profiling population health is an important part of public health practice in England

This basic app is an initial (and simple) attempt to improve visualisation

• It takes one indicator
• Plots a histogram
• Adds a line with a slider

The core dataset comes from Health Profiles
For the purposes of this exercise I have extracted a few key variables

hp3<-read.csv("hp3.csv")
head(hp3)

  X deprivation life.expectancy obesity smoking
