In response to popular demand, my Pew Research colleagues and I posted\u00a0detailed demographic tables<\/a>\u00a0for the “Tracking for Health” study.<\/p>\n\n

I should warn you: These are not pretty tables. You may need a ruler to keep track of the rows and columns since we crammed as much data into each table as possible. But I think they will be useful and that, to me, is a high compliment (right after “thoughtful” — that’s the best).<\/p>\n\n

For example,\u00a0I think it’s intriguing to look at some of the patterns. If you click through<\/a> and scroll to the fifth table: Women are more likely than men to track health data on paper (40% vs. 28%). You can tell that is a statistically significant difference because there is a tiny “a” next to the 40.<\/p>\n\n

Another interesting finding: Young adults are significantly more likely than older adults to have an app to help them track their health (16% of 18-29 year-old trackers, compared with 3% of 50-64 year-old trackers). Notice there are no statistically significant differences (and therefore no superscript letters) in the race and ethnicity findings.<\/p>\n\n

Here’s the last table in the appendix:<\/p>\n\n

\"Health<\/a><\/figure>\n\n

My colleague Maeve Duggan pointed out that men are more likely than women to share their data with their spouse or partner (30% vs. 16%). We wondered if it is because women are less likely to share their current weight?<\/p>\n\n
