How to Present Data in Tables and Figures in Health Research

Abstract

The effective presentation of data in health research is achieved through strategically designed tables and figures. These elements can capture readers’ attention and convey complex information visually. Tables organize intricate data concisely, with descriptive titles and layouts that facilitate comparison. On the other hand, figures must clearly state their communicative purpose. Both should be numbered and arranged in the text. They exhibit specific characteristics in terms of dissemination; for instance, posters require appropriate spacing and fonts for readability. In conclusion, tables and figures are valuable tools for summarizing and presenting information in health research.
