The Health Outcomes category directly measures the burden of disease and impacts on life expectancy and mental and physical health and well-being. Topics in this category are Physical Health, Behavioral Health and Mortality. Some of the measures in this category include high blood pressure, excessive drinking and premature death.
Health Outcomes is one of five categories of measures used in the America’s Health Rankings model, which is built upon the World Health Organization’s definition of health: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The other four categories — Social and Economic Factors, Clinical Care, Behaviors and Physical Environment — influence and are influenced by Health Outcomes, reflecting the impact of social determinants of health.
Current Reports
America’s Health Rankings builds on the work of the United Health Foundation to draw attention to public health and better understand the health of various populations. Our platform provides relevant information that policymakers, public health officials, advocates and leaders can use to effect change in their communities.
We have developed detailed analyses on the health of key populations in the country, including women and children, seniors and those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, in addition to a deep dive into health disparities across the country.
