The report includes 156 detailed trend tables organized around four broad subject areas: health status and determinants, health-care use, health-care resources, and health- care expenditures. Many of the trend tables provide information on racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in health.

The report also includes the 2005 Chartbook on Trends in the Health of Americans, which assesses the current state of the nation’s health and how it is changing over time, both positively and negatively, by presenting trends and information on selected determinants and measures of health status. The Chartbook includes a special focus on persons aged 55-64 years, a growing segment of the adult population.
