Geographic disparities in life expectancy are substantial and not fully explained by differences race socioeconomic status. To develop policies that address these inequalities, it is essential to identify other factors account for this variation. In study we investigated whether population well-being—a comprehensive measure of physical, mental, social health—helps explain geographic variation expectancy. At the county level, found every 1-standard-deviation (4.2-point) increase well-being...
To evaluate whether health-related quality-of-life measures can be improved in a senior population by increasing participation an exercise program.The study involved nationwide sample of adults aged 65 and older (mean age 73.2 first year) who participated the SilverSneakers fitness program between 2010 2016.
