Transcript of What kiwis die of iii age survey
What Kiwis* die of - Part III:‘Age’ survey.
*The inhabitants of New Zealand rather than the flightless bird….
This survey was inspired by the Guardian newspaper’s infographic ‘What we die of’ and is a collaboration between microbiologist Dr Siouxsie Wiles, chief number cruncher Dr Paul Gardner and data visualisation extraordinaire Dr Mike Dickison.
Paul (@ppgardne) is a Royal Society of NZ Rutherford Discovery Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Bioinformatics at the University of Canterbury's School of Biological Sciences. He gets very excited about RNA. Mike (@adzebill) is a freelance information designer with a PhD on the evolution of giant flightless birds. He quite likes ukuleles too. Siouxsie (@SiouxsieW) is a Health Research Council of NZ Hercus Fellow at the University of Auckland’s Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences. She is rather keen on nasty bacteria and anything that glows in the dark.
The survey
On the 14th January 2013 we used Twitter, Facebook and email to entice over 100 people to fill out our survey
(http://t.co/jrXSHjGq) using the SurveyMonkey website.
Like all online surveys, ours should not be considered representative of the population of New Zealand, but rather
of people on social media who were happy to fill out our survey.
Almost 30,000 people die in New Zealand each year. Previously we have looked at what the major causes of death are and how these differ between men and women. This week we are looking at the data for different ages.
Please don’t cheat and google any of the answers, we want to know what you THINK the answer is! All will be revealed on http://sciblogs.co.nz/infectious-thoughts/ soon.
