Health is more than the absence of disease, but the capability to enjoy life to its fullest.  Those with a low health status are being hampered by physical and mental illnesses that limit their ability to fully realize their life.

Health status is the percentage of adults who say that their current health is either fair or poor. This is an overall indication of the general health of the population.

Data is self-reported and obtained from Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
