The health outcomes category represents a population’s physical and mental well-being in the domains of behavioral health, physical health and mortality. This is one of five categories that make up 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.” Our model reflects that determinants of health directly influence health outcomes.
