The health outcomes category represents what has already occurred regarding a population’s physical and mental well-being. Topics in this category are behavioral health, mortality and physical health.
This category is one of the five categories of measures used in the America’s Health Rankings model. The other four categories are social and economic factors, physical environment, clinical care and behaviors. This model 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.
