Geographic Variation in Cardiovascular Health Across Texas Counties
How do county estimates of cardiovascular conditions, their risk factors and heart disease death rates vary across Texas, do they cluster geographically or differ between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties, and how strongly do the risk factors track the outcomes?
Reports describe patterns between counties. They are not medical advice and do not show what causes those patterns.
