Frequent Physical Distress
This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
This indicator shows the percentage of adults who stated that their physical health, which includes physical illness and injury, was not good for 14 or more of the past 30 days.
Why is this important?
People's assessment of their physical health, which includes physical illness and injury, is a good measure of recent health. Frequent physical distress, in particular, emphasizes those who are experiencing more chronic and likely severe physical health issues. 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.

Technical note: These estimates are produced from survey data and created using a complex statistical model. It is not appropriate to use this data for tracking/evaluation purposes, as the data are collected using sophisticated sampling techniques that can make them difficult to use for small geographic areas and population subgroups without carefully applying the correct statistical techniques. Modeled estimates are also not particularly good at incorporating the effects of local conditions, such as health promotion policies.
