Don't use the red-green combination in charts as it makes it really hard to read for those of us with a degree of red-green color blindness (which is the most common type in the ~5% of the male and ~1% female population that has it).
Other than that it looks AWESOME.

- zymhan 11y agoWait, I'm more likely to be color blind because of my ethnicity? Well that's interesting... EDIT: The article says "Arabs (Druzes)". So, if they're specifying the Druze ethnicity, does that have any implications for Arabs in general?
- mjevans 11y agoThey probably don't know. It's very likely that a subsample of that ethnicity had good medical data and thus conclusions can only be drawn conclusively for that subsample. However it would indicate an area for study should more reliable sample sizes of other 'near' populations be possible.
- andrewstuart2 11y agoI would say rather, provide an option to change colors for those with various types of color blindness. That way it's accessible but still intuitive to those who can discern and are familiar with typical meanings of red and green.
