The States Where Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors are the Highest
How have the levels and trends of burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors in the United States changed from 1990 to 2016 by state?
A study, The State of US Health, 1990-2016Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Among US States by JAMA, demonstrated how health in the United States improved from 1990 to 2016, although the drivers of mortality and morbidity have changed in some states, with specific risk factors such as drug use disorders, high body mass index (BMI), and alcohol use disorders being associated with adverse outcomes. In 5 states, the probability of death between ages 20 and 55 years has increased more than 10% between 1990 and 2016.
