| Disease Incidence II | Other cancers |
| Disease Incidence III | Tuberculosis |
| Behaviours | Smoking |

Note that in these visualizations, the regional rather than national character of the datasets have been stressed.
About StatPlanet
StatPlanet is a free application for creating thematic maps and graphs. The aim of StatPlanet is to promote evidence-based decision making by improving and facilitating the communication and interpretation of information. It enables users to explore demographic, education, environment, health and socio-economic indicators from various sources including the datasets compiled by the Circumpolar Health Observatory.
StatPlanet was conceptualized and is being developed by Frank van Cappelle since 2005. Since 2008, the development of a tailored version of StatPlanet is being undertaken as part of the SACMEQ research programme at the UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP).
