Gaps in Adult Health Status

Education is Linked with Health In All Racial/Ethnic Groups

Influences on How Well and How Long Adults Live

How Do States Compare?

State Snapshots: Example District of Columbia 38.3% of all adults reported not being in very good health (7 th in the county) 23.6% of the most educated adults reported not being in very good health Gap in adult health – 14.7% Even if the District of Columbia achieved this lower rate (23.6%) overall, its rate would still exceed the national benchmark for adult health status

Move the slider to 84% and watch the mortality counter change.

What Does This Mean? The large majority of Americans are not as healthy as we could be – yet good health is achievable. When thinking about health policy, we cannot afford to look at health care alone. –This report highlights the need to focus on education and its impact on health. –Other evidence shows that we also need to look at other areas and their impacts on health, e.g.: early childhood development, housing, and nutrition policies.
