Between October 18–21, this website will move to a new web address (from health.gov to odphp.health.gov). During that time, some functions might not work as expected. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we’re working to make this transition as smooth as possible.

Leading Health Indicators Infographics

Healthy People 2030 includes 23 Leading Health Indicators (LHIs), high-priority objectives that address major public health issues — from obesity to substance use to chronic disease prevention and more. The LHI infographics featured on this page provide engaging visualizations of the overall data, as well as disparities for select population groups, to help public health professionals understand and interpret the data to optimize public health interventions.

Currently, each LHI infographic focuses on 1 population group — a variety of population groups are featured across LHIs. Additional graphics for other population groups per LHI may be added over time.
