There are many places to find statistics related to health. Public health organizations are a great source, as are government agencies related to health. In the United States, for example, health statistics are collected at the local, state and federal levels.
You can also find statistics within scholarly literature, so pay attention to any statistics you come across and track down where the researcher found them (or if the researcher generated the statistics through their own scholarship). Consult our research guides for Health and Exercise Science as well as Nursing for ideas on where to search for related scholarship. The sources to the right are also a good place to start.
Please reach out to a librarian for help, too. We enjoy helping you identify and track down statistics. Remember that if you google "health statistics" to evaluate the site so you know what you're looking at and where the data originated. Librarians can help you vet sites, too, and are happy to take a look at what you've found.
