Limited Activity due to a Health Problem

Select a County
Measurement Period: 2015
This indicator shows the percentage of adults who reported that either poor physical, mental, or emotional health kept them from doing their usual activities, such as self-care, work, and recreation.

Why is this important?

People's assessment of their physical and mental health, which includes physical illness, injury, and psychological distress, are good measures of recent health.

When people feel healthy, they are more likely to feel happy and to participate in their community socially and economically. Areas with unhealthy populations lose productivity due to lost work time. Healthy residents are essential for creating a vibrant and successful community.
