US Obesity Rates as percentage of people considered obese, divided by age group and birth year. Designed in histogram coxcomb style. Zero-values represent missing data years. Heights represent the percentage of obese people at that age.

 

The benefits of the coxcomb is the arrangement of the data is in one place showing the increasing trend of obesity as age increases. The data however is exaggerated by the area increases based on the coxcomb, and can be misleading. But the exaggeration works in the favor of making the increasing trend more visible.
