Data & Statistics
Are you looking for our Cardiovascular Disease Dashboard? You'll find it on our Michigan Cardiovascular Disease Dashboard page. The dashboard provides quick access to indicators at the state and county level, as well as demographics and selected comorbidities and controllable risk factors.
Welcome. This page provides access to data and reports on physical activity, nutrition and weight in Michigan, as well as the MDHHS Cardiovascular Health, Nutrition and Physical Activity Section's program evaluation activities. To access information about any of these topics, simply click on one of the headings below.
Data and statistics about cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure (hypertension), high blood cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), stroke, and and how healthy weight and heart health can impact persons living with HIV, can be found on our companion Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology webpage.
For more information about the Section's surveillance and evaluation work, or to get accessibility assistance reading any of these documents, please contact MDHHS Heart Disease & Stroke Prevention Unit Secretary Kelly Garrow (e-mail: GarrowK@michigan.gov).

Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity
The Michigan Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (MiBRFSS) is composed of annual, state-level telephone surveys of Michigan residents, aged 18 years and older. This is a main data source for physical activity, nutrition, and weight status.
- Interactive Dashboard
- Annual Reports
- Regional and Local Health Department Tables
- Race/Ethnicity Tables
The national Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) consists of annual surveys (i.e., BRFS) conducted independently by the states, District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, and is coordinated through cooperative agreements with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The Michigan Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System or PRAMS is a project that, with help from our partners at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), gathers high-quality, population-based data about maternal attitudes and experiences before, during and after pregnancy. With the data collected from this survey, we can help improve the health of mothers and their babies throughout the State of Michigan.
The Michigan Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program is a supplemental nutrition program that helps women, infants and children through an important time of growth and development. The WIC Data and System Management provides access to system release information, WIC research, reports and system policies. and processes. Maternal WIC Data and Reports provides information including PNSS and PedNSS reports that contain information on the demographic composition and health status of women and health outcomes of infants and children enrolled in the WIC Program and breastfeeding reports.

Evaluation
Program Evaluation
Program evaluation is the systematic collection and analysis of data to examine whether public health activities are achieving their intended outcomes. Evaluation is important, because it helps us improve our programs and spend our resources wisely.
For more information on program evaluation, see the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Program Performance and Evaluation Office website. Materials specific for evaluation of heart disease and stroke prevention can be found on the CDC Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Evaluation Resources webpage.
Evaluation documents produced from our work can be found below.
