The impact of omega-3s in Europe
In the last two weeks of data visualizations I shared global data on intakes and the burden of coronary heart disease due to low omega-3 intakes, but these two data points taken together tell an important story. For the third installment of my 52 weeks of data project, I looked specifically at Europe and how intakes of EPA and DHA in each country differ and the corresponding death rates attributable to low omega-3 intakes.
h/t to Li Luo at Radio Free Europe for using an interesting model to tell a data-driven story in Europe, which I re-created to tell this story.
